Although I have been reading and enjoying the International Herald Tribune on my iPad for the last 10 months or so, I have always been aware of a vague sense of unease, a feeling of dissatisfaction which I couldn't quite nail down. Well, I now know the source of my dissatisfaction. As of today I have to pay for the IHT and you cannot imagine the relief! You see, free news, like free anything else, can't be worth much. Indeed, it's worthless. What's more it was distressing to think that I was sharing the news and views with assorted freeloaders and riff-raff. All that is now thankfully a thing of the past.
Has the IHT made any improvements to coincide with the eagerly awaited launch of the pay service? As far as I can see there are two new features: the paper is now updated in the course of the day, and there is a new section called Business Navigator which gives useful advice to people wishing to do business in, say, the UAE or Saudi Arabia. I didn't know, for example, that the business week in Saudi Arabia runs from Saturday to Wednesday instead of from Sunday to Thursday (as in the UAE).
