Comments on: Trinidad Express E-Paper http://www.allyuh.com/blog/2007/10/30/trinidad-express-e-paper/ Trinidad and Tobago Online Content Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:00:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Taran Rampersad http://www.allyuh.com/blog/2007/10/30/trinidad-express-e-paper/comment-page-1/#comment-780 Taran Rampersad Sat, 03 Nov 2007 01:31:16 +0000 http://www.allyuh.com/blog/2007/10/30/trinidad-express-e-paper/#comment-780 Newspapers in Trinidad and Tobago? I don't read them anymore. Poorly written stories which may or may not be the result of overzealous editors (I have heard a few war stories) and almost always biased. I won't even comment on the spelling. Maybe one day I'll grab a daily newspaper and compare spelling errors. So what they've done is scan it in? That isn't useful at all. If I were to spend money on a Trinidad newspaper - or ANY newspaper - I would expect the ability to copy and paste text for quotations. I would expect the cost of this to be less than my annual $44 US for the digital version of Scientific American. They need to be heckled. Laboriously heckled. When I get bored and need something to write about, this is one of the things that I will write about. Dolts. Newspapers in Trinidad and Tobago? I don’t read them anymore.

Now you even find some of the AP stuff seeping to the online edition, The only benefit I can see right now is the layout and the photos that accompany stories that are yet to translate to the website. I think they will try to milk this subscription model until its more trouble than the revenue it generates or until someone decides that its more beneficial to update their site and let the content free.
