[Sigia-l] Who here is paying for content?

[Coughenour, Jim]

Guess I'm a junkie. I subscribe to Salon (just renewed); to the New York
Review of Books online (I'm also a subscriber); as well as to Znet (online
version of Z Magazine) and Counterpunch. So now you know my politics :-)

I read Salon everyday, many links; I get email "commentaries" from Znet; I
love the NYRB archive of essays. Counterpunch is just for occasional fun.
