Incrementally I am being closed off to media online. [View all]

The NY Times allows 10 articles per month for free. Then without a subscription, you're closed out.
More or less the same thing for the Washington Post.

I can't access even local news in New Jersey because one paper allows 10 free articles, and period, you're shut out.
The other paper demands I disable my AdBlocker. However, I know many sites can't sift out the Malware attached to their commercial clients, so I won't do that.

I understand the need for media to make revenue online as their hardcopy papers are losing readership and sales.

However, I would need to dedicate at least another $100 (which I don't have) to access all the newspapers and magazines and sites and would have to pay a service to regularly remove the malware.

Guess it's back to the public library to regularly read newspapers and magazines.
