Digital Replica & Frequently asked questions

Tablet Help App User Settings Benefits of the Digital Edition Digital FAQ

The Fulton Sun has begun converting daily print subscribers to digital-only delivery except for Saturday. This means at some point, delivery of a physical newspaper will cease with the exception of the Saturday edition.

Subscribers will receive the newspaper seven days a week through a digital replica edition, which is available through a mobile app or web browser. For subscribers who don’t have a mobile device, the Fulton Sun has a program where we can provide an iPad to you on a month-to-month rental basis for only $9.95 per month in addition to your monthly subscription.
