The Star Tribune here just started limiting you to 20 free articles per month. Thankfully, between my desktop, laptop, smartphone with two different browsers, squad laptop, and several work PC's, I have pretty much no limits on how many I can view. Also, I know how to delete cookies in my browsers, so I can reset the counter to 20 whenever I want

Well, we're not too far from Iowa, and I hope our paper isn't published by Gannett.
I wouldn't read it anymore. I'd stick with tv news, or radio. Our newspaper sucks, it's not worth paying for.No one has greater love than this, to lay down ones life for ones friends - John 15:13

Our main source of news in my state just started this with their website. 15 dollars a MONTH to read it. People are pissed.
