There's really not much of a comparison between news media subscriptions and the discussion of perpetual licenses vs paying a monthly or annual software subscription fee. I know, it was just the most funny juxtaposition I wanted to share and this seemed like the right topic. I get all my new from 9gag and Google ? 2

Many places did it for a long time. In fact they were more than happy to do it just to get clicks. Somewhere down the line some decided " People will pay for this. We shouldn't provide this content for free!" I ain't one of them people. If the WSJ can't make enough to stay afloat off the clicks, they need to hang it up. This is the problem with all printed news media. One of the two in Chicago became non profit.

As someone who appreciates quality journalism, there are two excellent news agencies that provide a great deal of news stories at no cost -- and are regularly rated by top j-schools as two of the least politically biased news outlets, Associated Press (AP) and Reuters. Continuing down the rabbit hole... AP & Reuters are on my regular news rotation (no cost) when I just want to know what's going on, and I don't care to have someone tell me what/how to think. I value quality journalism, so I also subscribe to the digital edition (online) of my local newspaper. Plus I can access it from an app on my mobile. Not cheap, but they dig into the news spectrum quite a bit (local, regional, national, global, & special topics) and they provide a lot of excellent local and regional coverage (the stuff that may actually affect me the most). I do miss the days when most of the big city newspapers could be read online for free, but those folks have to eat too, so I understand that good journalism is not free...

But the cost of subs with a news outfit is not worth it to me. I can still get FREE local, national/world news over the airwaves. They make it work. So can an Internet news agency. 1
Fleer Posted April 16, 2023 Posted April 16, 2023 Still like to get my NYT everyday tho. Nothing beats paper. 1

I haven't updated Waves Central (I even don't have it installed), but since this whole debacle I used more Waves plugins than in the months before. They entered my TOMA. ? 3
