A couple of weeks ago. I will look at the home page and if there is any local news that interests me I will search for it elsewhere. And I won't link to a Morning News story on social media.

I have never felt that I was getting their product for free considering how much advertising I had to fight through to get to what I wanted to see.

I don't remember how long the paywall lasted last time, but I don't see this being sustainable.

A few sports journalists that I follow on Twitter are posting links that are behind this ding dang paywall. I am not liking it at all.
