Before the internet people only used to get the regular newspaper occasionally if they were out or they would have to go out specifically for it. This seemed liked the most efficient way to do things and seemed like we didn't need to change it. Then Tim B L came along and invented the internet, this had changed things in following years, things like books, movies, pictures and in fact newspapers.
As people started to adapt to computers it didn't seem necessary to buy as many material goods, this affected many industries especially the newspapers. When people discovered that they could read newspapers online, less issues were sold of each newspapers. So the newspapers did something smart, they made it so you had to pay a subscription fee monthly to view their paper.
Although this didn't appeal to some people because they didn't always want to read every paper, so they thought that they weren't getting their moneys worth. It was only newspapers like the Metro that earnt their money from the advertisements that gave their newspaper away for free at train stations and public places, they soon started giving their newspapers away online for free as well because you can have advertisements on the side and on the top or have banners across half way down the page.
People then started to use smart phones and tablets to access the internet and use applications of their favourite websites. The newspapers then caught on and offered the same deals for the access to view their newspaper via smart phone or tablet. This was extremely useful because it combined the freedom to take the newspaper anywhere and not having to actually go to a hop and buy it.
