NY Times Select-ing a different news service
Over the past few weeks the NY Times online has moved to a subscription service for components of the online paper. The service has advantages, it allows users to research archives from over the past 15 years. The services is wrapped into a $50 annual fee for users who don't subscribe to the print edition.
The major change revolves around the lack of access to world renowned columnists. The interesting and influential columns often shed light on our backwards world and this source of information should be available to all readers. I imagine the columnist are not excited about the change because the number of people reading their articles has decreased dramatically.
The NY Times, and most traditional news papers, are encountering difficult financial challenges. The NY Times recently announced layoffs due to a decrease in traditional advertising revenues. The question yet to be answered is if the new market shift will be adopted by other large media organizations.
