Have we been spoilt by online newspapers allowing us access to their archives for free?
As of today the Daily Express is charging readers £5.95 for 48-hour access to its archives.
The Times has offered online archives for some time already and charges £4.95 a day.
So let's consider which paper will offer us more bang for our bucks, given the Times has been around for an extra 125 years..
The Daily Express seems also keen to make us pay for as much as possible as its definition of an archive includes articles from when the paper was first set up in 1900 to.. 'today'.
So does that mean we have to literally pay for yesterday's paper as well as today's? Or perhaps the Express already put up a paywall without telling us?
