I've noticed additional newspapers in the regional embracing a paywall — Twin Falls Times-News, Idaho Press Tribune (Nampa-Caldwell), Missoulian and Billings Gazette. Which makes this Facebook post by Branden Durst interesting:

“Random thought: When newspapers institute paywalls on their websites, I stop going all together. I am looking at you Idaho Press-Tribune.”

Question: Do you frequent online newspaper sites with paywalls that limit most copy from the print version?
