    I've redeemed my rakuten tv points online like below but when I log into my Rakuten account on my Sony TV there's no option but to pay for a movie. Any ideas? Thanks

    Ditto. 5 euro a month is excellent value and it's important to support journalism.

    Lads, how in the face of jesus do you stop all the emails from IT online? I'm subscribed but I'm withered from trying to stop the emails 3, 4, 5, 6 times a day. I've emailed them twice and got zero back! I've tried everything through My Account and "Newsletters" but still getting ****e like the Morning Sports Briefing... driving me up the wall! My next email is going to be asking them to delete my account.

    Wrong paper, this is about The Times, not the Irish Times. Having said that I think there's a section in the right hand side of website when logged in that let's you manage your email subscriptions.

    Clearly I could do with the emails to improve my reading and comprehension haha! Sorry about that. However I've tried that and still receive a load of tripe

    I had to set up a mail rule to send them to trash as soon as they came in.

    Unsubscribing doesn’t make a difference which is a bit shocking considering potential GDPR implications.

    Anyone else getting double-billed? They take 2 X €5 payments back to back from me every month.

    I mailed them and they asked me to send them proof!!!!!

    Also really dislike the fact that you cannot zoom in on a photo - Its archaic in this day and age.....

    I tried to download the paper this morning and I kept getting an error, that must have been it.

    Real shame, they've quite a good set of reporters (Niamh Lyons, Ellen Coyne), and Richie was great.

    Does this mean there will be very limited Irish content henceforth? Will probably unsubscribe if so and move to the IT instead.

    Feel sorry for the journalists - a lesson to a lot of people that good journalism is worth paying for. We will miss it when its gone :(

    From 21 June 2019, staff numbers will reduce from 20 to 3. The 3 staff will have to produce 4-6 articles per day (as reported by the Irish Times).

    If you are writing 6 articles in a day, you are doing little more than editing wire stories.

    i.e: Far less content. Far less investigative journalism. Your 60 EUR a year is going to give less bang for your buck.

    The news on VM there just said the sunday times will be unaffected so there will still be an Irish edition of that perhaps.

    That's what I got from that report as well.
    It's only the Times in Ireland and not the Sunday Times.
    Sure at the price they charge for it on a Sunday, it must be making money.
    Rest of week wouldn't have thought they could sell it.

    You would have still had access to the U.K. edition and the magazines?

    I'm a full time copywriter/journalist. That workload is simply not doable without writing junk, unless they're outsourcing and editing. The Times would become the equivalent of a fanzine.

    I notice that there doesn't seem to be anything in today's paper (the online version at least) about the news of their closure. Seems a bit odd that it'd be covered in the Irish Times but not their own paper..

    I'm going to wait for a while and see but thinking about moving to IT if they still have the New York Times access bundled. Not too many other options left :(

    If they stick with a fiver a month I'll be sticking with them. I mean, I regularly buy T3 or Stuff for more than that for about an hour's worth of reading on gadgets...

    The other thing is I'm not as focused on the Irish content as others in this thread seem to be. I usually jump to T2 first thing and then maybe flick through Comments. I might very well keep up the subscription even if there was no specifically Irish coverage at all...
