Should We Have to Pay for News on the 'Net?

Everyone has opinions. Patch is the place to share them.

As of Wednesday, Feb. 1, Gannett, one of the country's largest media companies, which owns USA Today and the newspapers, will move to a pay wall on some of its news sites.

The move will require readers to buy a subscription to read the sites, as they would to have the print version delivered to their homes. A small portion of articles will be available on each site without having to pay.

So, Long Valley Patch wants to know what you think. Should readers be required to pay for online news? Should there be a subscription fee like that of a home delivery for a print product?
