For anyone wanting to receive organic news it's an impossibility now maybe one per nation or region, it's all weighted and pushing an editorial stance.
The digital price of the Cov Tele is crazily cheap. If you are not prepared to pay it is because you don’t actually value the content. It’s not an affordability point for the vast majority of people.
I would say not much worse but they don't have the archive of old pictures and stories the Telegraph does and uses for photo gallery features occasionally ( well as an older chap I find them interesting even if many don't).
