New York Times Online New Subscription Model

Posted Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 9:17pm in Blogging, Media  | 

The New York Times Online will begin to charge a $49 subscription fee for access to its major columnists under a new programme called Times Select. I think this might prove to be a bad move. Nobody likes paying for information on the Internet. Why should you when it will be readily available elsewhere?

Only last month I wrote how online US newspapers reached $1billion in advertising revenues in 2004. Seems kind of strange to be doing this?
