Unfortunately I paid for a year. I've had newspaper subs for at least a decade primarily to support real journalism. It's not like I couldn't find the words for free if I really wanted them. The people and the journalism is what I was paying for, not the words.
ProPublica.org is a great suggestion.
404 media does amazing work and could use another sub
Unfortunately I paid for a year.
Same. And it had just renewed. But in a year, no more.
Is it worth calling/emailing them to demand a refund? Especially if you were there for any specific journalists that are leaving? I think it would be very reasonable for WaPo to have to hear from its subscribers about these changes.
Hell, I would call to cancel with or without a refund.
I'd just be complaining to someone who has no decision making power as they tried to enforce the requirements of their job. It's not worth my time.
