I guess how different will that be to the current subscription model for premium newspapers like WSJ, NYT, FT etc?
Perhaps it could result in the rise of “micro magazines” where a few writers combine and create their own joined content vs being forced to being part of a larger bureaucratic organization.
Or readers could pick and choose a selection for their bundle.
Definitely can expect to see some disruption in the market!
- ghaff 6y agoIt's different in that there's a different level of editorial control--though it's not that different from the op-ed page. There are other examples, albeit ad-supported ones. One of the tech pubs used to have a blog network of outside writers. (They eventually dropped this as they became less and less comfortable with outside people writing under their brand; this was also a period when orgs were pulling back from their own people having strong personal brands on their sites.) Back to the print days, many tech pubs had a stable of regular columnists. A lot of Forbes blogs are third-parties. It's not an unreasonable model. The question, as with many things, is what the economics look like.
