In reply to the discussion: How to get around the paywall at national newspapers [View all]Old Crank
(4,700 posts)Try and avoid paywalled newspapers.
If everyone avoids payments how will they stay in business. The only sites left will be major papers. Already lthe locals are getting killed or bought out .
I read some papers articles from other sites that link to them. To find I can't read one article from a small local paper without subscribing in annoying and I don't read the article. I think it would be good if they had a 3-5 article per month limit. I am unlikely to read something in the Orange County Register more than twice a year.
I currently have subscriptions to the NYT, SJ Mercury News, Washington Post, The guardian, and the Economist.
I think I'm doing my part to help pay for news collection and distribution.
As usual, my situation is not your situation.
