The real success here - if it is successful - will be convincing readers that have previously had free (for registered users) access to Boston Globe content at Boston.com to pay $208/yr simply for the new interface. It will be the same content, with a few exceptions, simply rehosted at a new site with a new URL.
If they're able to convert even a subset of their current audience over, journalists everywhere will rejoice.
- maigret 15y agoDefinitely. Still I am not sure if subscription is adapted on the net - do they also offer single issues? As a buyer, I rather pay single issues. At the time where there were only paper issues, we used to take a subscription for the local or national newspapers. Now that the net has so much diversity, I want to multiply my sources. The single issue order that many iPad apps offer seem more comfortable to me.
- ghc 15y agoI'll certainly pay. It's a lot cheaper than the paper subscription and Boston.com has a horribly design.
