In reply to the discussion: I don't want to buy an online subscription to WaPo and NYT [View all]cyclonefence
(4,483 posts)I'm from a newspaper family (the Charleston (WV) Gazette), and I want to pay for content, online or on paper. I read an actual paper paper every day; I have trouble reading a whole lot on a computer screen. But I want to read those stories.
Problem is, it seems wasteful somehow for me to subscribe when I won't use the service the way I use a paper paper. I won't read the whole thing online, and although it isn't very expensive, it seems wrong for me to do this just for myself.
Actually, I'd be happy to pay for an informal group subscription, if anybody wants to talk about that in DU mail. If say five of us share a subscription, that's one more subscription the paper would not otherwise have gained, and we would be able to read the whole story when a reference is posted.
