Washington Post To Go Paywall, Along With Buffett-Owned Local Papers

Posted by timothy on from the interesting-use-of-the-word-reportedly dept.

McGruber writes "The Washington Post reports that the Washington Post, and local newspapers owned by Warren Buffett, are all planning to follow the New York Times and install metered paywalls." Buffett's got more than 80 papers right now, and hasn't quit buying them. There's some time to read the WaPo sans paywall, but by mid-year it may be up.

    With the easy access to quality international newspapers why would one use Washington Post?

    Firefox rules. I have been using addons refcontrol to take care of paywalled websites like nytimes.com, wsj.com etc.
