[QUOTE="AlexB23, post: 77644884, member: 450900"] Thank you. From now on, I will use my library card to access news sites the ethical way, and will no longer give summaries of sites blocked by paywalls, as folks should be using their library cards to access this information. I will still give summaries of articles posted by the Guardian (donation model), New York Post (as it has no paywalls, though the news there is skewed), NPR (donation model), BBC (ad supported) and any other paper that has open-access information. For my future post, I will be touching upon the ethical pros and cons of paywalls, using some of the stuff that you said, [USER=234799]@Ophiolite[/USER] said and research. Honestly, news reporters need to make money somehow (even though the CEOs of news companies make millions, the journalists themselves still need food on their table). With all the news releasing recently in our world with the wars and the trial, I am thinking about throwing $15 to the Guardian (UK) or NPR (USA) to help the reporters out. This is my library's website to access the NYT through a library licensing deal. I redacted the name of the library, as that shows where I live. :) There is an article by another library (not from my state) which does something similar to mine, and has a deal with newspaper companies: [URL="https://www.oppl.org/news-events/digital-learning/access-news-online-for-free-with-your-library-card/"]Access news online for free with your library card[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" width="448px"]346127[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
