Subscription questions
What does a subscription include?
Basic Digital unlocks all Meridian journalism. All Access adds every game, the full FIVES archive, our cooking and review sections, and all subscriber-only newsletters. The standalone Games plan unlocks the games and archive only.
Can I share my subscription?
All Access Family covers up to four people, each with their own login and their own game streak. Individual plans are for one reader.
How do I cancel?
You can cancel anytime from your account settings; access continues until the end of the billing period. Because this is a demonstration site, checkout runs in free mode — no card is charged and no real subscription is created.
Is this a real newspaper?
No. The Meridian is a fictional demonstration built as a design reference. All journalism is invented and evergreen; there is no real news. Checkout runs in free mode and charges nothing.
