Who is planning on paying for online subscriptions?

Nope,... I quit the print version back in the 90's when they started charging to have obits in the paper. I still feel that should be a community service unless the obit comes with a photo. I could see charging for that. I too will get my news from the QCD and the Pen and Sword along with the H'ville news stations.
I don't think the online version would be worth paying for. I receive a paper from UNA every day as part of my activity fee anyway.
Well, today is the first day that they want you to pay.
I won't .
The Huntsville TV stations carry most North Alabama News on their respective web sites, although to a degree they still believe the world is flat and the edge falls off somewhere just West of Athens.
About once or twice a week, there is something I really want to read, but , well , screw 'em.
I will miss the letters to the editor, but actually I have other ways to waste my time , and they will take over that time frame.
My local paper just raised it's subscription fee an extra $2 a month and stopped Tuesday delivery. I stopped the paper after being a customer for over 25 years. They took a hard turn to the left and that was the last straw. Not a surprise here in Calif but enough is enough. Am sure they don't miss me. I keep up with the hometown news via the TD website but will not subscribe. It does not relect my views or opinions.
While I concur that I ain't paying either, and I can agree that the news is not always what I want to hear, how in the wide world can the news (especially local) "relate" ( I assume you mean reflect) your views or anyone elses ? It's just news. Chit happens.
Keep it up seeweed and contendah is going to be all over you, He didn't post "relate". He left out the *f* in reflect. Obvious typo, not a use of the wrong word.

and that's ok, I make them all the time, but wanted to be clear. Not a slam at all.
