[Husker] Journal-Star to start charging for website

[David Strong]

Same thing happening with the local paper here in Charlotte, the difference being that print subscribers get a digital subscription at no charge. I don't have a problem with digital newspaper subscriptions, most of these guys are losing money badly and cant afford to give away the online product anymore, but I probably wouldn't like having to pay for the same product twice. Maybe they are trying to actually drive people away from print. Probably cheaper to provide and deliver the digital content. The Charlotte paper also provides X number of free page views per month before requiring $$$.
