  Globe paywall
I’m not sure why aggregators, etc. are linking to them anymore, because you hit that infernal paywall now. I’m sure they’ve been told this many times, but let me echo what others have doubtlessly said: Yes, we all know the New York Times has a paywall. You’re not the New York Times. 25 Responses to “Globe paywall”Leave a Reply |

With the Star and Post introducing paywalls in the new year, it will be interesting to see how it impacts page views. I would be willing to put some money every month towards reading good online content, but I’m not paying to access 3 or 4 different papers.
Someone’s gonna figure out the Global->Regional->Local one-stop content subscription model. It won’t be the Globe & Mail. The NYT is developing local editions all over the US.
The New York Times charges a low ongoing price for one subscription on an unlimited number of devices. The subscription is for a person.
The Globe & Mail is charging more, for less, on a per-device basis. So if you have an iPad and a computer, they want to charge you for each device you have. They want to charge for the device.
It’s grabby and a bad fail.
Even if you have an account, your login “expires” and you have to resign in far too often.
At least the NYT has a sensible policy re. their pay wall: Occasional readers like me can access up to 10 articles per month for free. I don’t have time for a lot of non-work-related reading, and so picking up the occasional in-depth piece from them on health (my main interest) or US politics doesn’t cost me a cent. And I seem to be able to read all the movie reviews I want without penalty.
I think globe is 10 per month free but for some reason I’ve only met the pay-wall one or two times. Even the NY Times wall seems to be working only intermittently.
Between the paywall, and continuing to employ that serial plagiarist, I’ve decided to cut the Globe out of my life almost completely. I unsubscribed from all their RSS feeds, unfollowed all of their accounts on twitter, and don’t feel like I’m missing anything. On the rare occasion that someone retweets a worthy globe article I might click, but its rare enough (and with enough different devices) that I don’t think I’ve hit the paywall even once.
Easy fix Warren. Use Google Chrome browser in “Incognito” mode. Presto, no paywall. (Or, for those who want to use another browser, look at 10 articles, clear your cookies, then you’re good for another 10). This also works for the Times.
Mac?
I’m one of the unconverted and don’t have a Mac, but I am 99% sure that with a Mac it would be the same, whether you are using Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc – you just have to go into your browser settings and erase cookies – you can either delete them all, or single out any identified with the Globe and Mail. Cookie settings are usually under either “Privacy” or “Security” in your browser’s options menu. Here are the instructions for Safari: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5049
You can also download Google Chrome for Mac: http://www.google.com/mac/
Good luck.
Thanks!
How about on an iPad?
Safari has a “private browsing” mode (on the File menu. Don’t know if it works the same as Chrome’s incognito, but worth a try
I knew the New York Times. The New York Times was a friend of mine. Globe and Mail, you are no New York Times.
You totally stole my line
I confess!
Not sure about the G&M, but “enable private browsing” in Firefox gets me around other firewalls.
Yep – that will do it – that’s the same as Google Chrome’s “Incognito” mode. It basically doesn’t store the cookies that their site needs in order to keep track of the pages you have visited.
I like that “paywall” at The Huff post (US, Can, UK) , Macleans, Guardian, and WK.
I can see a big increase in ‘hits’ for the CBC website…if I were a honcho there, I would take the money I am going to save in losing Hockey Night in Canada, and invest it in online materials…improve their editorials, and news coverage…please public broadcaster, do something innovative, prove your worth, and seize this opportunity to prove your relevancy
The CBC moderators who select what is posted are a bunch of unionized dippers who protect the CBC and their friends in the NDP and Liberal parties. Their forum is just a disjointed conveyor belt of nonsense for neurotics.
I agree the CBC sites are a confusing mess. I never go there. I nominate Macleans as the easiest to use best designed media site in Canada. I assume if they were getting any visitors to speak of, Rogers would get a paywall up in seconds flat.
Erm. that’s on the Safari menu, not the File Menu. Sorry bout that.
And it also turns off your search history and auto-fill, both of which are more valuable to me than the Globe and Mail
Thanks
I’ll give it a try
