People complain about the fact that newspapers are often full of recycled articles about celebrity gossip, but they forget that real news costs money – investigative reporters need to go out into the world and unearth new information. The trouble is, those who complain are also unprepared to pay to read newspapers, expecting to get information for free online. But what can people expect if they want to be able to read the news for free? As they say, you get what you pay for. If you want something for free, then don't complain about the quality. This is as true of the news as of anything else.
