Tipster Stanislaw Funk today let drop that the Bulletin will soon be doing something new: offering free "E-Edition" access to subscribers of their dead-tree edition.

If true, it’s a step in the right direction—when we had our Bulletin subscription I often wished I could also have online access to those "extras" I had already paid for—but it’s not enough. They need to do away with paid access for the online stuff entirely, make it free for everyone. I don’t know of anyone who pays for online news, and the Bulletin would benefit hugely from opening up the "extras" and the archives to everybody.
