Joe,

JM>  Over time that evolved to a online edition of the whole paper and now
JM>cost about $100 a year. No more five or six free stories before one had to
JM>subscribe.  Now one has to pay to read it, other than one or two stories.

  Most online papers now require you to subscribe to read a story.
What's worse is if you have an ad blocker in your browser, they raise
cane. Well, if a website gets infected by malware, especially in an ad,
I don't want that infecting my computer.

  Yet, there are still a surprising number of people don't have, can't
get, or don't want, a computer, or internet access. But, if you don't
get on board the technology train at the depot, you're going to be left
behind in the dust!! The rising costs of postage and printing, combined
with the decline of subscriptions and ads, has forced many publications
and newspapers, to go online only, or shut down altogether.
