I'll miss the National Post if they paywall it, the Globe a little bit, the Toronto Star not at all.

Much depends on the quality of what you're looking for.

There have to be things a newspaper can do besides paywalling. They've got ads on their internet pages, but they could also explore the kind of thing that is done with videos, for example. On some sites, you click on a video, then have to sit through a 15 or 30 second ad before the video will play. Something like that when accessing an on line newspaper would not put me off, if I'm getting quality news and commentary, even if it came up several times while I was browsing the paper. It would be no different than ads coming on during TV news.

Well, the Globe started advertising its paywall on the on line site, and I decided to cut it out of my "news loop" as of yesterday.

My Chrome browser is set up with a tab group for my daily "papers" and yesterday I removed the Globe tab.

They won't miss me, and I probably won't miss them either.

They won't miss you and they won't miss me.........but they will miss a few more 100,000 or so.

well goodbye globe and mail. I love the paper but without the quality of articles like the NYT I simply won't pay for it.

The National Post is actually nice to read and navigate.

That's my favourite on-line newspaper. I check it every day.

Good columnists too.
