Free English paper in HK

hy2007

Well, well, well...This is said to have an impact on SCMP circulation...

Media conglomerate Sing Tao News Corp (1105) announced yesterday its English-language
newspaper, The Standard, will switch to free circulation next Monday - a move
industry observers expect to change the landscape of the Hong Kong media market...

I absolutely refuse to pay $399 to read SCMP online. Why should I do
that, when I can read, uhmmm, New York Times (a far superior paper) without
paying a dime?
