C'était une super aventure. Ce matin, ma fidèle relectrice (que je remercie au passage) m'a refusé un article. Mais ne parlons pas argent. Néanmoins, l'humain marche à la reconnaissance. Alors, je n'ignore pas que la PQN a peu de moyens. On parle beaucoup dans le landernau médiatique de l'avenir de la presse papier. Je remercie tous les lecteurs, tous ceux qui ont pris la peine de commenter mes articles, souvent avec passion et talent.

US papers suspend paywalls in the face of hurricane Sandy | Media Q. When should newspapers tear down their own paywalls? A. When a hurricane arrives. Three New York-based papers - the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Newsday - opened up their websites as the storm advanced, as did the Boston Globe and the Baltimore Sun. The NY Times told readers it was providing "free unlimited access" to coverage of the effects of hurricane Sandy. Looking at the NY Times's site, there is certainly a great deal of storm coverage with terrific graphics. There are also some 350 pictures sent in by readers. The reader's picture I've chosen here, showing a notice on a snowboarding store, also illustrates the humorous response to the oncoming storm. Sources: Poynter/New York Times … we have a small favour to ask. I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure.
