I find this hard to believe as well, but for different reasons. I had an online subscription to Le Monde for years even though I wasn't even living in France. It was tiered but I thought it was extremely advanced in terms of features offered. In addition to web formats, I was also able to download PDF versions of the printed newspaper. It wasn't exactly cheap but I was happy to pay it. I only wish my local newspapers now were of that quality and had the same online services.
