I hear this all the time, it has to be a side effect of getting all your news through facespace and other news aggregators. There's really only a handful of newspapers worth subscribing to (in the US), if you aren't reading at least one regularly enough that you'd pay for it if you had to, your money is pretty much no good. I'd expect to see more and more paywalls in the coming months/years, the economics are better, pandering to large volumes of low value readers is a race-to-the-bottom that won't support good journalism.
- jrs95 9y agoHonestly no, none of them are publishing content that is worth what they're trying to charge. At $15/mo, the NYT seems to be selling a feeling of intellectual superiority more than they're selling better journalism.
- rohansingh 9y agoIf you have Prime, I think the Washington Post subscription offer of 6 months free and then $3.99/month after that is a very reasonable value.
- jrs95 9y agoThat is a great value. Way more in line with what one site ought to cost in my opinion.
