Quote ="Cibaman"I don't object in principle to paying for online newspapers (although obviously not The Sun). But what they should do is make it possible to pay to pay for specific sections of the newspaper rather than all of it.
I'd be prepared to pay, say to buy the Sports sections of 4 or 5 newspapers, plus the News sections from a couple of them. Perhaps one arts & books section from a weekend paper. But I have no interest in paying to read about travel, "lifestyle", celebreties etc.'"
For me, all of that applies to the paper versions, not just online versions.
Indeed, one of the reasons I don't buy Sunday newspapers is all the additional sections that I never even open.
I really don't care about what someone else thinks my lifestyle should be and so-called celebrities are a total yawn.
As for travel, I reckon they get most of it from a guide book anyway because, whenever I've read about a place I've already visited, it has been apparent that they haven't even scratched the surface.
Arts and books, I get enough from the New Statesman and various memberships of organisations.
I can't imagine I'll ever subscribe to an online newspaper.
With regard to specialist magazines, however, my view would be different as I keep every issue of some and it takes up a lot of space.
(Which is why I'm going to get rid of Land Rover Owner International issues from 1995 up to today ... somehow ... dunno what to do with them, I might put them on eBay).
