News & Events Do you or will you subscribe to newspaper sites?

[Gasometer]

No.

No.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Can't see myself ever doing it. They're just so full of garbage.

 

[Cruyff14]

Nope. I just go to news.com.au and check stuff there, and I will watch the news.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Listen to the news on either the television or radio most days.

If I'm interested in a particular saga, I'll research further via google and find relevant information.

Plenty of sites out there that provide info.

 

[timtamWB]

No. Have a friend that does, and I use his login

 

[Gasometer]

news.com.au are offering live sport connections I noticed on the weekend.

Now if they package AFL individual games into a subscription...IN....and **** off Foxtel waste of money...

 

[BotsMaster]

No.

No.

Top OP

Had to answer my own Q's first!

Topic was brought up on Media Watch tonight...Jon Holmes last night and begged us all to buy one subscription to any of them to save journalism.

Which makes me wonder why?

Aren't we all journalists now?

I knew more in real time about the Boston Bombing hunt via Reddit.

Interesting thoughts and future coming...

I have a HS subscription, but when the $1 for the first month expires I'll be looking at physical subscriptions to both major papers.

 

[bradrowe#32]

Never.

Foxtel isn't a waste of money...

I like reading The Age but to be honest, I like having the paper in my hand.

The Age has dropped in quality in the past few years though. Online journalism has become a great focus. Bit sad really.

 

[BILC]

Yes it is.

The amount of sport & the quality of the coverage is worth it. Even if it's just so I can choose to watch a different game on a Saturday night instead of listening to ****ing Brian Taylor.

 

[sprockets]

No & no

 

[stmookeyj]

Not unless subscriptions cost nothing.

 

[davesnothere]

At first I thought no but then after thinking about it some more I thought no.

 

[Messenger]

No.

No.

Lol.

 

[J_Moore]

No, yes.

Journalists need to be paid.

We all pay a journalism subscription via the ABC, anyway.

 

[Gasometer]

The same reddit site that claimed that a missing man (later found dead) was responsible for the Boston bombings? Thereby causing further grief for the missing man's family?

No.

Yes, I agree, but outside of the Sports package that provides live events, it is a total waste of money.

 

[Dagless]

Maybe if journalists held themselves to some standard...

Don't see that happening any time soon.

 

[nicky]

No i'm not interested. This guy knocked on my door on friday evening trying to get me to sign up to the Age.... LOL.

I'm not that person who watches the news or reads newspapers.

 

[kfc1]

Nope and nope. Not interested in gutter journalism.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

If what they call "journalism" these days was worth paying for, I would pay for it.
