I'll pay $50 a year, but I better be able to cancel with a single click and no criminal shenanigans with fraudulent charges thereafter.

I pay 60 a month for the FT and I'm pretty sure that money isn't the full cost.

Good journalism is really expensive and the internet had destroyed their business model.

My local library system offers digital access to WSJ, NY Times and many other periodicals. You may want to see if yours does too.

In some states it is the law to single click cancel. In others it is not, and requires a phone call to cancel. It's not impossible to cancel, but they bank on people not wanting to call in. They'll also try to negotiate down your rate if you call in wanting to cancel.
