While this is great for the one-off article in publications you rarely read, also keep in mind that journalism is expensive and the reason a lot of it is getting so bad these days is that nobody pays for it. So if you have money to spare, please consider having at least one proper subscription in a quality newspaper somewhere to support the integrity of journalism. :)

The Guardian is a good publication to consider as they don't have a paywall to begin with. That's a bold choice, and one I believe they should be rewarded for.

Also keep in mind that paying for news often leaves the poorer community without information. While yes, i agree that journalists should be compensated, news organisations have become profit seeking businesses since the 70s, and not, as they should be, places of information gathering for everyone.

A paywall prices poor people out of information. And things like this still help them.

The guardian should be lauded for their model yes, but that is one company. They can't write about everything.
