Telegraph to charge for access

[PRC1964]

Which leaves the independent and guardian, anyone using any others (besides BBC of course)

There is always local press. Where else would you find out about major crime waves like this:
Petrol cap stolen from Vauxhall Corsa in Whitlars Drive Kings Langley (From Watford Observer)

If I was paying for access to a website I'd expect it to be advert free. Admittedly I'm more likely to be crowned king of Texas than to ever subscribe to a newspaper site.
Before someone asks why I'm happy to pay for ads in printed media but not internet I'm not, I only ever buy newspapers on incredibly rare occasions.

I agree with that. I don't know why, but I can't stand ads on a pay site. But my main problem is that I enjoy reading from several online news sources. I don't think I'd be up for paying for 4 or 5 newspapers.

May be OK if they cut down on the ads on the site.

If the Mail follows suit, then CUK is fooked

Here's hoping

Pity

That's a shame. I like the Telegraph website.

May be OK if they cut down on the ads on the site. I find it a really slow site to use because of all the dynamic ad content on each page.

Mail Online won't go behind a paywall for ages. It has a completely different editorial team to the rag and so it's basically a gossip mag with the underlying hatred thrown in for free.

I'm sure there's a joke in heat (magazine) and its anagram hate

I think you can tell a lot about the papers that shaft their readers and how quickly they do it. The Murdoch ones obviously went first with he Torygraph following not long after.

The FT - which itself charges for online business news - reports.

I like the FT's paywall

[Sysman]

Oh well
