The Globe and Bail

Welcome to When Good Newspapers Go Bad.  The Globe and Mail's website has launched Insider Edition, a desperate attempt to force a new revenue stream.  A great deal of their online content now requires a paid subscription.  I've checked it out, and it appears most of their content now demands that you fork over $14.95 a month.  Even those who get the Globe and Mail delivered to their front door now have to pay $6.95 for full access to their website.

I've now removed this site from the news section of Links and I shant return to it.  I'll get my online news from another source...another free source.

This trend bites and I hope it doesn't continue.  It's irritating enough navigating through subscription sites like the New York Times and Toronto Star that are free. I hate it when good newspapers go bad.
