Going digital is hurting newspapers

I see a lot of newspapers going digital and charging for news on a monthly subscription bases, as a few publications have done already.

There will always be free news on the web though - it's the quality of the articles that will suffer once the papers charge for online news, as the 'free' stuff is usually poorly written.
