The problem is I'd just end up using it as Toilet papers due to mind numbing articles by Ken Campbell and Adam Proteau.

I bought a few at the newsstand last year and I was completely unimpressed with the content.

I have a few from the late 80's and early 90's, and it would take you a week to get through each issue. I can read the new ones in a single BM.

Can you get the digital edition for $30/year? I don't typically read papers anymore... they are too bulky to read on the bus. If I go through THN's web site, the cost is about $60.

I used to buy it at the newstand, but the news inside was always a week old. With TSN, ESPN, Sportsnet.... all the news you want is at your fingertips immediately.

It isn't a paper. It has come in magazine format for a few years now. It is also less geared towards news pieces but does more non time sensitive informational stuff and story telling.

It must be some kind of incredible writing if you're paying for any type of content on-line, even that price.

I've yet to see anyone who bubbles my hormones enough to make me want to pay a buck to read what they have to say.

Not in this day and age and probably not in this remaining lifetime.

And that's why most net media content is free.

I would assume you get the digital version with your subscription, based on it being included for $53 from their website, but I can't test because I don't have my subscription active yet.

Anyone else have a regular subscription and log into their account to test?
