Without information, you can end up choking in the digital dust. However don’t worry. A little misdirection and a handful of mobile apps can bring you the news for free or a very low price. Article resource – Money-saving ways to avoid online news subscription paywalls by MoneyBlogNewz.

Every person will love Google News

The best part of Google News is access. Lots of news sites are brought to one place. It is easier to get news. It is available each day. there are local news and top news categories. Anybody loves the clear and simple format it has.

Newspapers app: An iOS portal to publications across the US

Newspapers are an app at the Apple App Store that you pay $1.99 for to be able to get links to all internet newspaper sites. Read articles on your iPod, iPhone or iPad in Safari. You can download stories and read them later. Instapaper is an example of an app to do this with.

Cheap RSS Reeder for everyone

Reeder will take RSS feeds and make them neat for you. It has a newspaper-style interface, and the iOS app cuts the ads and reformats the page for optimal reading pleasure. Download the app for pretty cheap. You only have to pay $2.99.

There's Zite too

The free iPad app Zite acts as a kind of "personalized magazine," says Business Insider. It recommends news you might like, via connections to your Twitter and Google Reader accounts. there are also lots of articles in the app. You are able to pick them and read them instead.

CNN and Associated Press apps are free

For world, national and even local news on an iOS or Android system, it works really well to have Associated Press and CNN apps. The AP app allows users to pick a favored broadcaster. Then, the stories will be followed of that person. Users are able to submit photos of news in an iReport feature in the CNN app.

NYT and the Daily for free

The NYT Twitter feed could be put into a list by Twitter users. Clicking the links via Twitter or blog postings do not count toward the 20 articles per month limit the Times has imposed, so this amounts to free access. The Daily: Indexed, is a blog that the same thing happens with The Daily.

MediaMemo's Peter Kafka explained that there can be a limit of five referrals per day that are free from Google for NYT. This exact same limit might not apply to Bing or other search engines.

The Times just blocked Google. Why is that? Because users could simply Google an article headline and get into the article without going through the front door, so to speak.
