    Here's a pretty comprehensive, and interesting, read on the idea of pay-to-play newspaper Web sites, a topic we've addressed a lot.

    I'm offering this up without comment, other than to say that maybe we all ought to at least consider acting on the petition that is referenced, and linked.

    The whole thing is a good addendum to the corresponding thread earlier today asking where people will get their news in the future.

    The http://knownewspapers.blogspot.com/ Web site also has some other items that also make interesting reading.

    And, here's a separate link to the actual petition, in case anyone's interested:
