If you know the title of the article you want, you can also google it and it will take you right around the pay wall. Most news sites are generally like this in my experience.I found a way around it ...in a way. I have google alerts email me whenever anyone from uconn comes into the news i.e. khalid el-amin dan cyruliak etc. I had an email alert earlier today which was an article with cyruliak in it regarding gampel pavillion. I read the whole article through the link that was sent to my email. When i wanted to share it here on the boneyard i found that it is a blocked article and i was unable to view it outside of my email. I have google alerts sent to me regarding many past uconn players
Nobody in this thread can ever complain about UCONN sports coverage going forward.

Wa'na bet?

I don't begrudge a guy running an NYC hot dog cart, selling me a hot dog for a couple bucks but I'd probably comment if he was charging $50 for one (especially if plenty there were free hot dogs available right next to his cart that were just as good).Yeah, it's so irritating that people won't just cover the news for free. What's wrong with them!?
It's like they want to cover the news AND earn a living.
Paid for a daily Courant home delivery subscription and read it with interest for many, many years. As with most print media, the quality of the product started to drop precipitously several years ago, and then my outrage over Jeff Jacobs' steady stream of trash made me cancel it the first time. The New Haven Register turned out to be ridiculously expensive (for lower quality than the Courant) and the delivery guy was unable to get it to my house early enough to make it worth it for me, so I took advantage of a Courant promotion and gave it another chance for a couple years. When it became largely content-free I dropped it because I could get the few articles of interest to me each month on the internet for free.Yeah, it's so irritating that people won't just cover the news for free.

In this hypothetical world, where the same quality hot dogs are still available just as easily for free, I still wouldn't consider it a deal.But if he promised to give you a hotdog every day for a year for $125, you might consider it a deal.
Thirty-five cents a day for a newspaper subscription? Doesn't sound out of line to me.
I think you can get access across all devices with any level of home delivery, which I'm pretty sure is less expensive than that. I'll see what I pay for mine--or are they different depending on where you live?I don't live in Connecticut so I don't know how the free alternatives stack up.
Generally, though, the alternatives are not great.
I subscribe to the New York Times which has a bewildering tier of digital subscriptions based on what you're using to read it.
It's $250 a year. Is there a good, free alternative to the Times? No.
For less than a buck a day, it's a steal.

No problem. Glad it helped save a few bucks. And the NYT doesn't care if you open the paper or not--they just want to increase their subscription numbers for their print advertisers. That's why they make it less expensive when you add any level of home delivery. I just get Saturday and Sunday delivered, and one of the things I like is that you get the guts of the Sunday paper (most of the special sections) delivered on Saturday. I never get through all of it, but reading even just a couple articles usually provides more journalistic depth and insight than I get elsewhere on any issue. Our recycling comes every other week and if I haven't gotten to it by then, it goes.You are right and I have just changed my subscription.
Now, for less money, they have to drive their asses to my house five days a week to bring me paper that I will not open.
Thanks.
