The details
The Guardian's core value prop is that its journalism is free to read online with no hard paywall — reader-supported via voluntary contributions. Separately, it launched a discounted all-access digital student plan: verified students pay roughly £9/year (UK) or $10/year (US) for the Guardian news app (ad-free/premium), the Feast recipe app, weekly newsletters and puzzles. The one-year term reportedly does not auto-renew.
