A quarter for a day's newspaper? I guess, but most people won't read a whole newspaper. The payment system needs to encompass more targeted reading.

Bring back the mil!

re henry luce/better to buy paper for its ideas rather than its distribution (to paraphrase) you must be hiring the best and brightest.

So which US newspapers/media do that? do tell.

i will pay micropayments to my local paper when they hire some reporters to cover our town at least one story a week -- or month -- thereby adding some -- at least - microvalue.

Dump Blitzer... please. CNN has become an advertising whore (just check out their web site) and nothing but crappy b level news. CNN International on the other hand is a much better, more serious medium.
All he talk about is money!!

By the way, Gitmo is still open for business.
