The Wall Street Journal is one of the only ones I have seen that only provide some articles for free, while "locking" a lot of other articles. This makes a lot more sense because people will become frustrated and likely will subscribe if they want all the content. It's really convenient too because you get all access to their site plus the paper delivered. I like what Executor said about free content online.

The size of the paper also went down so much that you really didn't feel that you were getting your monies worth when you did buy it. It's really a shame though that most papers are going under.
