Beginning March 15, the Prairie Voice will merge with the Handle Extra. The Prairie voice, seen the last two years as a handout as well as part of the paper on Thursdays, and the Handle Extra, covering both Kootenai and Bonnner County, formerly seen Saturdays, will switch to the Sunday edition. With the combination, there will no longer be free distribution. You’ll have to buy a Sunday paper. The positive side, is that a much larger audience will see what is published, than in the prairie Voice/S&S Herb, Bay Views. More here.

Question: Do you read the Prairie Voice (Thursday) or Handle Extra (Saturday) in the SR or on freebie newstands around Kootenai County?

No, because I am a part of the disenfranchised “Palouse Voice” reading area - we have no voice.
