Do you read the news on your local newspaper's website? Is it free to browse? If so, why would they bother printing the paper if people can read the same news for free on their website? My local newspaper's website is loaded with ads and after you've read five articles, they block you and ask you to pay for an online subscription.
 
My local news site is pretty good and is totally free (or as far as I know). Not that I'm on it that much.
 
I get the newspaper delivered. There was a time, however, I forgot to cut out an article and had thrown the paper out. I went to the newspaper's online site and it too was loaded with ads. It was also horrible trying to find what I needed. I did manage and the site is free to use.
 
I wasn't even sure they had a website until I tried it just now. Seems to have a few ads, looks all right otherwise.
 
Our local daily newspaper's website through "newszap" is damned near useless, although they have cleaned it up some, it is still almost impossible to find anything on it.

The better newspaper's site wants you to pay for access.

Our weekly paper's site appears to be run by a wino who is having a really bad decade.

I've found better coverage of local news through sites in Philly and Baltimore than I have on local pages.

For national and international news, I hit the BBC, Google news, and sites like that.
