Supporting Journalism: I fully support quality journalism and understand that free access to news content is made possible through advertising revenue and sponsorships. Journalism is a vital public service, and journalists and news organizations deserve fair compensation for their work.
The Problem: Heavy advertising and tracking on many regional news sites often makes articles hard to read. Layouts break, content is obscured, and pages become slow or unstable.
Official options: Reach plc offers Reach Premium (£4.99/month or £39.99/year) for an ad-lite experience and more on its titles. Newsquest publications typically sell digital access on each title's own website; see Newsquest Media Group for the company overview.
If you read these publishers often, consider subscribing through their official channels so journalism can be funded sustainably.
The Solution: This proxy is a personal tool created to restore readability to articles that would otherwise be unusable. It is not intended to harm journalism or deprive news organizations of revenue.
Ethical Use: If you find this tool useful, please consider:
- Subscribing through Reach Premium or a Newsquest title where you read regularly
- Supporting quality journalism through subscriptions where available
- Donating to independent news organizations
- Engaging with content and sharing valuable articles
- Providing feedback to news sites about ad placement and user experience
