Pay walls for News papers – cry of the dying dinosaurs

Perhaps the most common mistake that pay wall supporters make is forgetting that people haven't paid for the news in 180 years.

internet connections instead. (As was) then and now, the reader only pays for access—advertising always has and will continue to pay for everything else.
