I find this rather annoying for them to do this. We have to pay for every access of news on their website through the use of 'subscription services'. The writer of the article basically compares The Hawk Eye with The Wall Street Journal and how The Hawk Eye should start doing subscription services despite individuals who can hardly afford anything in this town already. That means no one without a free subscription cannot access the website, except for subscriptions and searching for an article that would be later used to be paid for (with only have one access use of it before you have to pay again to access the link).
Many people in the city cannot afford to pay for a subscription so they rely on the website. Others use the website because they don't want to pay an extra subscription to their service because we are paying for the paper version and would like to have a electronic copy of an article or set of articles as well.
How much is a subscription? How long would it last? Would it grant access to past articles or do we have to pay extra to obtain each article?
I don't believe The Hawk Eye is doing this for the general public's favor. I believe they are doing it for their own corporate greed. Removing every access point for people who want to read the news for free is wrong.
