I read The Spec online every day, usually going to the site several times a day. Though I love the smaller local blog sites, reading The Spec keeps me in touch with broader issues and the mainstream thinking (especially in those often-misinformed or badly-written letters to the editor!). I would gladly pay to read The Spec online because I appreciate it, though I do agree that there could be more coverage of local politics, and more critical coverage of local issues. There are some features that are available on the web version only, mainly photos and videos.

Like Sean, we are currently receiving the print edition for 4 weeks on a "free trial" basis. I had forgotten how many ads come bundled into it -- so much paper! So at least half of what is delivered goes straight to the blue box, including the sections I don't read. It just seems so wasteful.

So I have no real desire to obtain a subscription to the print edition but will not mind supporting The Spec by paying for online access.
