    1. Hello, We are a print-first newspaper because that’s where all of our advertising is and ads pay for our journalism. Stories are posted here usually well after they appear in print. Near you, we are available at the Jr. Market and Cindy’s Produce. For those who live outside Virginia Beach, I recommend bookmarking the site.
