Shame on all the idiots suggesting you should get around the paywall.
I’m a journalist and am based abroad and the rates we get paid are disgusting.
Front page of the Telegraph, Guardian or Times, perhaps 1000 words? That’ll be about £250. Forget the fact you are risking your neck, that it’ll take you a day to write the thing up and you might have done days of work towards the story…but the fact that you have to pay your driver/translator/get to the story etc. (or god forbid have something to eat or pay your electricity bill)
If you don’t want every newspaper to become an version of msn news where everything is a top-10, and its all just regurgitated noise then you need to pay for things. It’s not a sustainable trend to have everyone taking and nobody paying.
This country has a noble tradition of journalism and the British press is still probably the best and most respected in the world, despite all the sneering crowd who will be along in a minute to remind everyone about hacking etc.
If you think the telegraph is worth £2 a month, then pay £2 a month!
