Increasingly online newspapers require registation to view anything but a line or two on their "splash" page. But stories are usually covered by more than one website, not all of which may require registration. You might want to take a second and use Yahoo or Google or check the BBC and see if the same story is mentioned there.

The problem I have with the registration process (apart from my deep counter-cultural streak) is that often at the end of the process I get dumped on the splash page again with no idea which article the sender wanted me to see.

URLs for news and recommended reading and playing are great, especially
when they come across the ASTC wire, but I suggest including a brief
description of what it is to which you're sending us, so we know better
what to look for after we individually have determined whether or not
we care to go clicking in the first place.

Thanks,
