@David I let my subscription lapse last December. There was no value in their reporting, which was usually superficial, and the rest was just wire articles I can find elsewhere. The only good thing was that they had a good climate change reporter, but it was not worth a subscription.

@DrEvanGowan I'm not subscribed. I only follow them on social media. It was a fast and easy way to get news in English (for myself and to share) but yes, it's becoming less and less useful. I like the woman who writes about art (we met, she's serious, and probably the only Anglophone journalist who does her research when coming to "my" islands instead of just paraphrasing the official storytelling). There are also a few people I can't stand.

@David I swear this is a turnaround, too. They were somewhat critical before.

@soycamo Glad I'm not the only one noticing.
