Will You Pay To Read the Courier Journal Online?

[75center]

Nope.

 

I don't think many, if any, newspapers will get away with it for long.

[JCVD]

I'll stop. I'll just continue to get most of my info from twitter

[MJAlltheWay24]

I won't read it specifically because they're charging. BGP is much wiser investment....

 

This statement is why I wouldn't really pay for any news outlet. Between BGP and Twitter I get all the news I could want and need.

CJ would go the route of pirated music industry. Someone will republish their content and eventually the journal will die. If their revenue doesn't come from adverstisments then they will be in trouble.

I read J. Demling and J Frakes all the time. Also look there to get scores and highlights for the ranked teams in Louisville to post. I would miss getting that info from them to post here, but I wouldn't pay for it.

[Wireman]

No chance.

Just get on Twitter and you'll have everything Demling posts and more. Twitter is the best resource available to stay on top of the news, IMO.

But what about when Jody posts a link to updates? You can only get so much in 140 characters.

Those updates are normally available in several places.

I read it regularly and will not pay to do so. Something I've seen lately when reading articles on other news websites is that they put a big question box in the mdidle of the article which you have to answer to continue reading. Has anyone seen these? It drives me crazy!

Also, whenever the Enquirer's box pops up asking me my gender, age and zip code, I always answer that I am a teenager from 90210.

I read it online, virtually everyday, but will stop doing so, once they require pay. Not a huge fan of having to pay for admission.

 

 

Why not? Why should you get the fruits of their labor for free? I've never understood the resentment towards paying for access to newspaper content on line. Did they spoil everyone by previously allowing free access similar to the way airlines spoiled travelers for decades and now have to deal with people constantly complaining about limited food, poor food, paying for bags, etc?

Why pay for info that is readily available for free elsewhere?

I used to subscribe to home delivery. But I don't have time to sit down and actually read the newspaper. So, I've been reading online since. I will probably pay, but it depends on the amount being charged.

If all you read is sports, I agree. But there's more to the C-J than sports.
