Stuff announced this week that while it will still allow free access to its stuff.co.nz website, material from its three major newspapers: The Dominion-Post, Waikato Times and the Press will now have to be paid for with a subscription to the dedicated website for each paper:

"The country’s biggest publisher of news will soon begin charging readers of three titles for news online for the first time. Stuff is launching subscription-based websites for The Dominion Post, The Press and Waikato Times, but access to its main national news website stuff.co.nz will remain free.
This means that the journalism produced by these newsrooms will largely only be accessible to subscribers while Stuff.co.nz remains the accessible, live, vibrant, addictive news site it is today,” Stuff owner and CEO Sinead Boucher said in a statement."

Should still be plenty of free football stories by the likes of Voerman and Rollo available on the Stuff website like before though.
I hardly ever read online stories on the NZ Herald website now that you have to subscribe to read most of their material.
