I subscribe to the Washington Post online version and enjoy it. It was only $29 a year when I signed up, which seems reasonable for what it its. I've found that my local paper and a few others like the NYT will give a person a few articles for free each month, and often a browser refresh can extend that. I browse some headlines most days and read an occasional article from those. I sort of miss the real paper newspapers, but the local paper is pretty lame anymore.
