This is the best way to do it: just paywall your articles.
The internet made people believe everything is free. But free news is either propaganda or a disguised ad.
- SifJar 6y agoI don't think that is a fair assessment, there is also free news that is openly ad-supported i.e. there are ads surrounding the news on the page, but the content itself is not advertising anything
- AniseAbyss 6y agoNewspapers are actually not supported by ads, that was always merely a bonus. Most of their income came from subscriptions. Every serious journalist medium is going back to paywalls/subs. If people don't think its worth the money journalism should die but I think it will survive.
- angry_octet 6y agoUnfortunately this is completely false. Biggest contributor used to be real estate, but other advertising was a big contributor.
- himinlomax 6y agoThe problem is that they all have their own account management. I'd be ok with paying a subscription service that gave access to several sites and took care of distributing revenue per usage, but managing dozens of subscriptions is a hassle.
- tomatocracy 6y agoPressreader offers something a bit like that.
