What you get with a Dallas Morning News subscription

The Dallas Morning News offers a digital subscription that gives you access to news stories, investigations, and sports coverage on their website and mobile app. A print subscription delivers the physical newspaper to your home on days it publishes. You can also buy a combination subscription that includes both digital and print access.

Digital access lets you read articles on dallasnews.com and through the DMN mobile app for iOS and Android. Print subscribers receive the newspaper at their address on the days it publishes — typically daily except some Mondays. The combination option stacks both services together at a bundled price.

Subscription tiers and pricing change throughout the year. The Dallas Morning News regularly runs promotional rates for new subscribers, particularly for digital access. Prices for print-only and print-plus-digital subscriptions vary by location and current offers.

Key Takeaways

  • Digital subscriptions give you access to dallasnews.com and the DMN mobile app, while print subscriptions deliver the newspaper to your address on publishing days.
  • Combination subscriptions bundle digital and print access together, usually at a lower total cost than buying each separately.
  • Promotional pricing for new digital subscribers changes regularly, so the rate you see today may differ from the rate next month.
  • You can manage your subscription, pause delivery, or make changes through your account on the Dallas Morning News website.

How to start a digital subscription

Go to dallasnews.com and look for the subscription button, usually located at the top or bottom of the page. You will be taken to a page showing current subscription offers. Select the plan you want — typically a monthly or annual option — and enter your email address.

You will then create a password and enter payment information. The Dallas Morning News accepts major credit cards and may offer other payment methods depending on the promotion. After your payment processes, you can log in when ready and start reading.

If you already have a Dallas Morning News account from a previous subscription or free registration, log in with that email and password instead of creating a new account. This keeps your reading history and saved articles in one place.

Print and combination subscription options

Print subscriptions are usually ordered by phone or through the Dallas Morning News website. When you order, you provide your delivery address and choose how many days per week you want the newspaper delivered. Pricing depends on your zip code and the current offer.

Combination subscriptions bundle print delivery with digital access. These are often cheaper than paying for print and digital separately. You manage both parts of your subscription through one account on dallasnews.com.

Delivery typically begins within a few business days of your order. If you move or need to change your delivery address, contact customer service through the website or by phone to update your account.

Pausing, changing, or canceling your subscription

You can pause your subscription temporarily through your account settings on dallasnews.com without canceling it entirely. This is useful if you are traveling or want a break without losing your account. Pauses typically last 30 days, after which your subscription resumes automatically.

To change your plan — for example, switching from monthly to annual billing or adding print to a digital-only subscription — log into your account and look for plan management options. You can usually make these changes when ready, and any price difference will be reflected in your next billing cycle.

Canceling your subscription can usually be done through your account settings or by contacting customer service. If you cancel a print subscription, delivery stops after your current billing period ends. Digital access ends when ready upon cancellation.

Payment and billing details

The Dallas Morning News charges your payment method on a recurring schedule — either monthly or annually, depending on the plan you chose. Your billing date is typically the same day each month or year that you started your subscription.

You can update your payment method, billing address, or email address through your account settings at any time. If a payment fails, the Dallas Morning News usually sends a notice and may temporarily pause your access until the payment goes through.

Promotional rates often explore only to the first billing period. After that, your subscription renews at the regular rate unless you cancel. The Dallas Morning News notifies you before your promotional period ends so you know what your renewal price will be.

Troubleshooting access and technical issues

If you cannot log in to your account, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it. Make sure you are using the email address associated with your subscription account. If you created your account with one email and later changed it, you may need to reset your password using the original email.

If you are on a digital subscription but cannot see articles on the app, try logging out and logging back in. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version from your device's app store. Some articles may be behind a paywall even for subscribers — these are typically marked as premium content.

If you have a print subscription and are not receiving the newspaper, check your account to make sure your delivery address is correct and your subscription is active. Contact customer service if delivery stops unexpectedly or if you need to report a missed issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I read Dallas Morning News articles without a subscription?

The Dallas Morning News allows a limited number of free articles per month for readers without a subscription. Once you reach that limit, you will see a message asking you to subscribe. Subscribers have unlimited access to all articles.

Do I need separate accounts for print and digital?

No. Whether you have print only, digital only, or both, you manage everything through one account on dallasnews.com. Your login email and password work for both the website and the mobile app.

What happens to my subscription if I move out of the Dallas area?

Digital subscriptions work anywhere you have internet access, so moving does not affect them. Print subscriptions depend on whether your new address is in a delivery area. Contact customer service with your new address to see if print delivery is available or to switch to digital only.

Can I gift a subscription to someone else?

The Dallas Morning News periodically offers gift subscriptions, though availability and terms vary. Check the subscription page or contact customer service to see if gift options are currently available and how long they last.

Is there a student or military discount?

Discount programs change over time. Visit dallasnews.com or contact customer service to ask about current offers for students, military members, or other groups. Promotional codes are sometimes available through partner organizations or special campaigns.
