This site only asks for your details - name, sex, birthdate, postal address, country, email address, and asks how you found about the site. You then have to choose a username and password to access the site. This is a very large site that even includes a shopping 'mall'.
Subscription is for actual door delivery of a number of magazines including the Digest.
This is a South African magazine that also has an online presence. To view anything regarding the site you have to subscribe and pay, and it can be delivered either by email or to your home. For R6,00 you can view this month's edition, a sort of sneak preview so to say. This private website does have a lot to offer though - information, archives, chatrooms, writing critiques, programmes of conferences and workshops worldwide, it also has email writing courses for beginner writers. I went through a number of news services to see if any were subscription based, most were not but for some information you had to pay.
