i purchase two newspapers on daily paper subscription. they give me unlimited online access to their website aloing with that subscription. i do also use some online news sites that allow only a certain number of articles that can be read online each month. if i use up that allotment then i move on to another site.

i can understand why some of these news agencies are doing it. the newspaper business has been a huge struggle for a while now.

I see that I can still read a certain number of NYT articles a month. I used to be able to do that with WSJ, but now apparently that's no longer the case.

I am finally able to read WaPo online (which I should always have been able to do since I have a daily print subscription - but their site wouldn't let me for the longest time.)

I can still access sites such as CNN, FOX, etc., but wonder if they will start charging eventually as well.

I just refuse to pay, I"m cheap.

I used to buy the Sunday local paper but there isn't much in there anymore.

Sales, opinion, stories from other news sources.

I listen to radio almost all day, different stations.

I also browse around Yahoo news Yahoo has a little bit of everything.

News is not news anymore. It's not fact, just someone's opinion. I would like someone to report the news without their slanted opinion.

And that is just opinion. There is plenty of accurate news to be had, you just have to know the difference between fact and opinion.

I subscribe to the NY Times online, and have enjoyed it. They have a daily update that is free, I think, as well.

I've been seeing that for years. Lots of news/newspaper sites started doing that a long time ago.

Sometimes they limit the amount of articles you can read (5 per month, 10 per month) unless you pay for unlimited access. I've been paying a small amount for unlimited access to the NY Times for quite awhile.

They often have lower-cost promos, so anyone who's interested in trying out any of the sites should find out about that.

I agree! It's very much worth the money. I didn't hesitate and wouldn't give it up.

(I do read lots of others, with different points of view, but the Times is the only one I pay for.)
