Unless you've been living under a rock, you should have noticed that most news publications are now paywalled. It's annoying but you can't just ban journalism.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you should have noticed that most news publications are now paywalled. It's annoying but you can't just ban journalism. Blogs are dead, smaller websites are drowned by spam and new search engine "algorithms", and if you want a somewhat authoritative news piece you'll find yourself increasingly having to go behind a paywall. What would be nice to see is a universal micropayment system instead of ads and subscriptions, but after a decade or so of nobody implementing one, be glad you can still read what you can without having to spend $200 a month on a dozen subscriptions to cover your needs.
