Put an synopsis version of the story outside the firewall and do the in-depth article with reference, graphs, etc. inside the firewall. Paid subscription with a google friendly, ad supported front-end. People who aren't going to pay the fee probably just want the synopsis (executive summary) version anyway.
- wodenokoto 11y agoI don't know why this is being down voted as its a fairly good solution. My idea was to have the general news media subscribe to these services and write delayed smaller summaries, kinda like how they subscribe to Reuter.
- apozem 11y agoNot a bad idea, but it would only work for stories with the appropriate depth to support a longer exploration that would make people feel like they got their money's worth. Some stories just aren't worth more than 300 words and don't lend themselves to major explorations.
- protomyth 11y agoI've thought about this one a bit, and taken as one story what you say is true, but I think there is no such thing as a standalone story. Links to previous stories either by type or area, links to stats (e.g. CDC ranking of mortality), etc. could provide some valuable context as opposed to sensational headlines.
