That is a crazy price. Just open stories in incognito mode and never run out of free articles.

For a real news site, I might pay it. I subscribe to the WSJ and have no issue paying for it because of the quality. But the Advocate/TP is just garbage in its present form.

The T-P will occasionally have a long form, multi-day piece that is very good. Some of them were mentioned in the linked article announcing the new price model.

But the vast majority of what the T-P puts out, both online and in print, is hot garbage, It's basically copy and paste from press releases, or poorly written blogs.

If the T-P started a weekly or monthly magazine of in-depth articles by their best reporters (the few they have left) I'd pay $5 a month for that.

But for the every day news? LOL, no.

Curious if the tv stations beef up their online presence.

$120 a year?

Nobody will pay that. They’ll go bankrupt.

Nola.com was a great website before Georges bought it. Now it’s the worst. You can’t even read an article without it jumping around and you must log in with Facebook to comment. A once great newspaper totally destroyed. It’s a shame.

If the BR Advocate did it, then obviously the NO one would.

Just go to WRNO, WWL, WDSU and Fox 8's sites. frick the Advocate. Who needs it?

Yeah, up until what a few months ago I used to read it. This new format is for shite, I read the obits and that's pretty much it. Take that 10$ and shove it.
