Yes, we began our subscription almost a year ago. We are licensed for 3
users, which has not been a problem. The interface leaves much to be
desired from a librarian point of view, but the students don't seem to
mind.
We cancelled a number of print newspapers in order to cover the cost,
since most of our remaining newspapers are never used in print anymore.

For print on demand newspapers?? If so, I am interested in how it is
being implemented.
Thanks,

We have not yet experienced this problem, though it's not surprising
given the price of gas and the dire state of the newspaper industry. We
have cancelled many newspapers due to cost and lack of use in print.
For US newspapers, our NYT is heavily read in print; we also have the
local Hartford Courant and the WSJ. Otherwise, yes, students and
faculty are mostly using the online versions, either direct or via
aggregators.

We just received word that many of our newspapers delivered daily are no
longer available. The delivery service says that the major newspaper
companies can no longer afford to transport papers to smaller markets.
Our only option will be to subscribe to newspapers via mail delivery,
meaning that our users who like to come in first thing in the morning
and read the New York Times or the Chicago Tribune will no longer be
able to do so.
I wonder if other libraries are experiencing similar problems with
newspaper delivery? Will you continue with mail delivery? Or are you
canceling print newspapers and relying on the online versions?
