The update is horrible. The eEdition went from being easy to navigate and read to an absolute mess. I can't believe I actually paid for a subscription to this garbage

It is amazing The State gets scooped on local news by a small daily in Orangeburg. The mall shooting was reported in Orangeburg the day after it happened. The State took 2 days. Are you really a NEWS paper?
