Who pays for newspapers online?

[displacedinMN]

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

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.

That's where advertising revenue comes in. Plenty of online news sources don't charge.

Hmmmm.

I always figured that a really neat and clean homeless person slept outside of my room.

Newspapers destroyed themselves. Journalism was abandoned. They produced flaming shit in a bucket for decades, and even the bucket itself is now obsolete.
