The Sacremento Bee will no longer charge the $499 subscription fee for political coverage in their “Capitol Alert” site:
“In the past year, Capitol Alert’s in-depth and ongoing political news and information have become a valuable daily resource for many political professionals. During this time, we have received many requests to make Capitol Alert available for free. Now, in response to the rapidly changing online world, we are moving to open the site for advertising and will offer its content to a broader audience free of charge.”
