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

What is a "newspaper"?














.......LMAO

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.

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?

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

I should have clarified that they want me to advertise in their paper.

who's stupid enough to do something like this??

almost as stupid as paying for music online.

What really stinks about that is that I look at papers from places that I have lived., KC, DSM, MPLS, a few others.

Who can afford to pay for all of those? Even with free trials each month.

Like I said-I am cheap.

I buy a paper and read it while I'm having lunch. It's relaxing but **** it makes me feel like such an old man.

Anything that I need to know.....will be posted on CP. Everything else is garbage.

agreed

I like to read the KC Star, STL Post-Dispatch and Columbia Tribune online. I've thought about subscribing to each of them, but that would be very costly!
