Nola.com access to cost $120 a year

Everyone said this was coming when Advocate bought TP, even though it was denied at first.

We’d like you to support us by purchasing a digital subscription at NOLA.com/subscribe. Full access to both NOLA.com and theadvocate.com is $9.99/month. And soon we'll offer a sports-only digital subscription for $4.99/month that will allow users access to our award-winning sports coverage (stay tuned for more details).

Yeah, there's no way that's a sustainable business model.

Who the hell would pay for that?

That is more than an Amazon Prime membership.

an entire article trying to explain the justification of paying for their news website when others for the same city remain free

frick you NOLA.com. You want me to pay you $10 a month to read news off your site in 2019?

no one is going to pay that. You MIGHT get some people who sign up for the 4.99 sports only.

RIP.

Still have a signed TP tshirt from Walt Handelsman When I took a field trip there where he drew Bill Clinton saying 'Have fun at Jazz Fest' on it.

The advocate’s website is terrible. Ads galore. I miss the old nola.com

I wonder if you can get the news only for 5 bucks. They can keep the sports.

John Georges trying to control the BR/Nola news narrative AND make us pay for it? I think not.

Even though TD is run by capricious autocrats, the minions of Satan himself, surely they are rejoicing at this news.

TD superseded NOLA.com four years ago as Louisiana’s most read media outlet. This will only ensure TD’s ascendency continues (along with my posts here). This last ditch effort by those morons will result in a more rapid decline, just as a paywall did for The Tiger’s Lair in 2002, which allowed TD to take off.
