Peninsula Daily News Reverses Course, Will NOT Charge a Fee to View PDN Website
The Peninsula Daily News was planning to start charging a subscription fee in order to surf the PDN website.
But the owners of the Peninsula Daily News — after a recent meeting with a highly paid out-of-state consultant — have changed their minds now. This meeting was private and heavily guarded by an elite security team. But a few details of the meeting have been leaked.
According to an anonymous source, the consultant had some painfully blunt advice for the PDN owners, telling them:
“Do you really think your readers are going to PAY to look at this stuff??? LOL. How much of a laughingstock do you want to be? I hope you people have some marketable job skills to fall back on when this hare-brained scheme backfires and the PDN goes belly up. Whatever you've been smoking, I want some of it!”
Apparently the advice was taken seriously. And so, at least for the time being, the PDN website is still free.

Good one, Tom!
LOL! A good morning laugh.
Thanks!
It's rare to see such bufugly website design even among ugly online news sites.
If the PDN consulted with and paid a decent designer a hundred bucks their site would look 10 times better.
Hello PDN, the 90's are calling and they want their website back.
Hahahahaha
I must be near my limit. There sure is a bigger selection of articles about things I'm interested in. Marijuana, marijuana, and marijuana. Watch, the day I hit my limit, there will be ten articles online at the PDN, all at once, about the coming plans the city and county have for marijuana tourism. I really don't care, and if by some chance the efforts of the lame PDN do bring a few marijuana tourists to the area GOOD. No, GREAT. But I'm still not paying.
This site is getting just as FUCKING BORING as the PDN and KONP combined!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Boring? One man's blog is as boring as a newspaper and a radio station's website? I used to think you didn't live here (alcoholic commenter guy) but now I think you are a local teabagger/businessperson.
