I'm amazed WaPo did not learned the lessons from every other news organization that tried to put their info behind a paywall - Mr. Havens Mar 18, 12:02 5
- I want quality reporting and that costs money. How are they going to pay their reporters if the papers aren't selling and online ads aren't enough? - Krusty Mar 18, 12:23 1
  - Quality reporting does cost money. No disagreement there, but paywalls for dailies do not work except for the largest and most-trusted sources - Mr. Havens Mar 18, 12:37
- seems to be working well enough for NYTimes this time around -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 12:03 2

  - It's working well for a lot of organizations (included a couple of properties in mine). - Kim Pine Mar 18, 12:10
For now, at least, it won't affect me b/c I subscribe to the print edition, but I dislike this a lot -- nm - prayformojo Mar 18, 11:54 1
- my paper wants extra for full online access...fyi, i stopped consumer reports because of this, i couldn't even use their search function so i wouldn't - zeitgeist Mar 18, 12:07
