And I think therein lies the problem for newspapers today. Had they started charging from day 1 back in the early 90's when the interweb first started getting popular they could have and could still be charging I think. But, they fed us for free all those years and decided a few years ago that it wasn't a sustainable model and you two like me said nope, not when I've been getting it for free all this time. Now they try to charge you damn near the same price for digital as they do for delivery and that just doesn't compute w/ most people. No presses, no huge truckloads of newsprint, no delivery people, no big warehouses, no big office buildings, yet they want to charge the same thing.
I always liked the Atlanta Journal paper, I have relatives over there and when visiting I would read that big arse paper cover to cover on a Sunday. I have never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but I remember well the first time I went to their website and read that thing cover to cover online and said to myself, there's no way to make this work for free. The decision, subscribe and pay for it and let the saved articles rot in a drawer somewhere, or read it online for free and move on. If you need to refer back, do a search. The model just doesn't and never will work now
