Usually subscription is something like the Washington Post wherein you sign up but there is no charge. Not so says the Des Moines Register you have to pay $10 a month to read more than ten articles. While other sites are trying to get as many page views and hits as possible the Des Moines Register is actively working to lose viewers.

When asked “Why is journalism dying?” You can give this as an answer.
