Important note for Andover News readers


Beginning Sunday, Andover News will become a paid subscriber service. Non-subscribers will still have access to our daily newsletter and much of our content, but exclusive content, including our meeting coverage and original reporting, will live behind a paywall.

We’re doing this to cover our costs and to make sure we can continue to grow and provide the same level of coverage of all things Andover. We’ll also be using $1 from each subscription to provide complimentary subscriptions to Andover nonprofits and residents who are facing financial hardship.

The subscription rate will be $7 per month, but you can lock in a reduced rate if you sign up by Dec. 31:
  • One-month subscription for $5: save $2
  • Three-month subscription for $15: save $6
  • Six-month subscription for $30: save $12
  • One-year subscription for $60: save $24
