The BBC is breaking a 20 year habit of mine... so I apologize that I am posting about this everytime it happens, but this is kind of a big deal in my world. BBC was my source for world news. I have never, ever, been prevented from reading a print news article on its website until this month.
Now.. they want me to subscribe.
In my opinion, the decline and death of true public broadcasting in the (english speaking) world — I've seen it in the UK, the USA, and Canada, I can't speak to other countries — is contributing to the decline of democracy in those places.
If only those who can afford to read the news have access to the news, then less people will be able to be informed, regardless of any editorial leanings.
