I guess this doesn’t surprise me all that much… But I have a feeling it’ll leave me looking elsewhere for my daily news.
I read the NY Times every day – so it certainly sounds like I’ll be one of those “frequent readers” they plan to charge for access. I’m pretty certain I’m not willing to pay anywhere near their last “subscriber rate” for access.
It’ll be interesting if other (lesser?) news outlets follow suit. The Times (maybe) might be able to pull this off. Many will not.
