Sorry, this is more of a rant than anything else. Can anyone tell me why the Newport Daily News continues to deny free access to its archives? In a world where most other newspaper websites (maybe except for The Washington Post) I have occasion to visit offer free and unfettered access to past stories, this practice is archaic. You can't even access stories a couple of days old without paying.
I've written them before to inquire about this and have never heard back. Big surprise there...

The answer is because the NDN is the "Kingdom of the Shermans". King Buck can do whatever he wants. Too bad he can't afford to buy socks.
Do either of you knuckle heads have any idea what's happening to the newspaper companies that have put their content online for free? If you want it, then pay for it. Our community is lucky to have a locally owned newspaper. I wish the Sherman's the best!
