On the whole, I think paying for each day's paper is a lot "healthier" for the consumer. You only pay for the days you actually read the paper, and you're aware that you're making a payment each time. You can't just forget about it.
You can also read five different papers on five different days depending on which one strikes your fancy, leading to a more balanced news diet. A problem I'm having right now is that I want to get news from multiple sources, but I can't afford to subscribe to all of the major papers, I have to choose one!
- ipaddr 4y agoBack when people subscribed to newspapers a subscription was cheaper than daily purchases by far. Having someone bring it and come to your door to collect was easier. This is back when this was the only way aside from word of mouth to be informed (daily news touches on stories but moves on quickly)
