As promised, today is the day that McClatchy implements paywalls on its newspaper sites, including the News & Observer. While I will most likely always be a newspaper subscriber, I don’t see myself linking to any more N&O online stories because paywalls break links. One of my pet peeves is when sites break links. News sites especially.

In a time when newspapers are seeing their readership flocking to online news sources, McClatchy seems bent on turning them away. Tell me how that makes any sense?
