I'm curious as to if anyone of you all pays a subscription to read your local newspaper online?
I stopped taking the news paper many years ago and only read it online now. But starting next Tuesday the paper will start charging a subscription fee to access the news paper online. I'm not sure it will be worth the money or not. Right now I'm leaning heavily towards the NOT.
never have, never will.
I would not pay the communist urinal anything what so ever. In 5 years that paper will be gone.
My neighbor has the Courier-Journal delivered so I use his on-line account.

Not me. Never will either. What does something like that cost anyway?
Most papers give you an online subscription if you get the paper delivered. I do that with the Frankfort State-Urinal. I'd never pay for online alone.

Sometime last year, the two "papers" that I occasionally read said that they were going to start charging for access if you looked at more than X number of stories per month (don't remember the number, but think it was 5). I haven't noticed any changes whatsoever. One of them is the Herald-Leader.
I wouldn't pay the fees. I subscribe to the various twitter feeds from those news sources and if there's a story that I would actually want to read more than the headline, I'm sure I can find it covered by someone else.

It is owned by cnn and you select your own interests. They use some very sophisticated algorithms. Not sure if I spell that and exactly what kind of equation that is but they must something to it. Wish my depth finder had a fancy fish catchin algorithm.
