    I assume you don't expect journalists to work for free. So how should online publications be financed? Paywall? Subscription? Advertising? Some other way? The Guardian website offers you a choice: if you want it free, you get ads; if you don't want ads, you subscribe. Last time I looked, it was less than £1 a week. That seems to be not a bad deal.

    Yes, but many people who think the Guardian is wonderful berate other newspapers for their tax arrangements. Always interesting to see what the Guardian doesn't allow comments on and which articles it shuts comments on when the comments don't suit. Polly Toynbee and that irritating harridan Zoe Williams are the worst for that.
    Guardian is my 3rd online read in a morning. Quick skeg of the HDM to check for any news of City and how many times they have managed to apply the word ironic to something, the DM and then the Guardian.

    Other papers don't need to ask. Probably because they sell far more papers. Though the Daily Mail and the Guardian are two of the most read, if not the most read, online websites of papers.
    The Telegraph and Times don't have a high circulation and operate paywalls.

    I understand the difference between a subscription and a paywall. My credit card doesn't as both cost money. I don't see either as a 'begging bowl'.

    After that Roy Greenslade business, surely no one in their right mind would want to subsidise the so-called Guardian?

    The only decent thing about the Guardian is the sports section. And the daily Fiver email is usually worth a chuckle or three.
