So You're Done with the Daily Statesman? How to Cancel Your Austin American-Statesman Subscription (and Still Get Your Local Fix)
Let's face it, even the most devoted news junkie needs a break from the daily headlines sometimes. Maybe you've finally gotten tired of accidentally using the comics section as a napkin (we've all been there), or perhaps the delivery guy keeps using your porch as a javelin training ground (hey, free exercise equipment?). Whatever the reason, you've decided to hit the pause button on your Austin American-Statesman subscription.
But hold on there, Roy Rogers, before you round up your trusty steed (or, you know, unsubscribe with a click) – there are a couple of things to consider:
- Are you subscribed digitally or do you get the good ol' fashioned paper delivered? This cancellation rodeo will have a slightly different approach depending on how you get your news.
- Do you live in cancellation paradise (California, Georgia, Maine, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Virginia)? Lucky ducks in these states can cancel online, but the rest of us mere mortals will need to saddle up and make a phone call.

Wrangling Your Digital Subscription
If you're a digital subscriber, mosey on over to your Account Management page (assuming you remembered your login – no judgement). Once you're in that digital dusty trail, you should see a glorious button (or maybe a link, these digital folks love their metaphors) that says something along the lines of "Cancel Subscription." Click that bad boy with the same gusto you use to unsubscribe from those car warranty spam emails, and voila! You're free from the digital news range.
Taming the Paper Trail (For Print Subscribers)
If you're a traditionalist who enjoys the rustling of newsprint and the satisfying THWACK of a paper landing on your porch (minus the rogue javelin incident, of course), then you'll need to grab your phone, partner. Dial up 1-800-445-9898 and prepare to chat with a friendly customer service representative. Be polite but firm (you don't want to get into a negotiation about the merits of the crossword puzzle), and they'll help you cancel your subscription.
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
Pro Tip: Make a note of the date and the name of the person you spoke with in case there's any kerfuffle later.
