Who pays for newspapers online?
I hate paying for news.
The MPLS star tribune gives you 20 articles a month. But I am finding it harder to limit it to 20. What makes me mad is the price. $52.00 a year seems a bit steep considering they don't need to print or deliver the paper. And I would read less then I would with a real paper. THEN after the INTRO price It goes up to 2.00 a week. so 100.00 a year I don't want to go off on a rant here......so I will ask Who is paying for a paper, magazine etc. Things that you could get other places. Not ESPN insider or online only content. Thanks-Yes I know I am cheap Last edited by displacedinMN; 10-27-2012 at 08:21 AM.. Reason: new info |

They are those things they leave with your breakfast at your hotel room door each morning that you take on the last day so you have something to read on the flight.

I read the KC Star online. It's paid for by the annoying ads, but with a good ad-blocker it's not bad. I used to have the paper delivered, but the delivery became so inconsistent I dropped it.

Yes and ad blocking will eventually kill all the good stuff we get online... Eventually I predict all newspapers will charge a subscription fee. |

Who can afford to pay for all of those? Even with free trials each month. Like I said-I am cheap.

You are cheap and spoiled. I am, too, as are most of us. But really, it makes sense that they have to charge. They have to pay for reporters and journalists and editors (and good reporters and journalists and editors cost money), even if not for paper and ink and delivery boys.

Nobody. That's why all the newspaper companies are going broke.

I get called by the local papers constantly to advertise.
It isn't worth what they want to charge. I feel sorry for them, though. |

$4 a month is too expensive for you?
