Charging for online content is an option. Might I suggest quality, fair and balanced journalism minus the liberal propaganda dribble you publish? Try it NYT and your readership might just improve.
“Last month, the New York Times Co. (NYT: 4.79, 0.04, 0.84%) said it was considering charging for mobile subscriptions to its flagship paper — and now it seems the tough times has forced the company to consider charging for access to its Web site.
In a survey emailed to print subscribers Thursday, the newspaper asked if the subscribed readers would be willing to pay $2.50 a month for access to the site’s news, which is currently free. The survey said the newspaper “is considering charging a monthly fee of $5.00 to access its content, including all its articles, blogs and multimedia.” The higher fee would be charged to people who access the content online only, while subscribers to the print paper would get a discount.”
