Like all print media now-a-days business on the print side is suffering. This includes the juggernaut of all newspapers and print media alike, the New York Times. For the past months, NYTimes.com has been updated with all of the latest stories and up until now, has been open to everyone for no cost. Not surprisingly, that freedom is coming to an end.
NYT is said to be in the works of creating a paywall system. A system supported by a lot of online media to protect their content from unsubscribed users. The Wall Street Journal has had this in place for a while now to pay the bills.
The New York Times’ system is rumored to be a “metered” system which in short, will only affect those who read NYTimes.com regularly. Everyone will have a certain limit on how many articles they may read every month. It’s that simple. If you would like to read more, then you will have to pay up.
I think this is a very fair model to price out their service. If you are a hardcore Times fan than I really don’t think you will have a problem forking out the cash for a subscription. But everyone who uses it every now and again will not be inhibited by a pay-wall up front. We all knew it was coming, I’m just glad I won’t have to stop reading all together.
