I can see the need for the pay model in the past. There were tons of expenses associated with the printing and distribution of a daily paper.
Now with the click of a mouse, i can get news from all over the world from every news service.
It's redundant to pay $19.99 for the globe and mail and then $9.99 for the toronto star and then $9.99 for national post when they all feed me the exact same stories, the majority of which are from the Associated press or Reuters anyway, when I can get the same stories and then some from CBC, BBC, Google, yahoo and others for free.
And local news? I learn about anything of importance on QBN from i_monk and others hours or days before the Star breaks it lol, not to mention twitter or facebook.
I'd rather directly support small journalists and bloggers than help line the pockets of Conrad Black, Rupert murdoch, Berlusconi and other big media moguls.
