Half in U.S. Would Pay for Online News, most other w countries would pay more
- jacquesm 17y agoIronically that seems to live behind a simple registration form and even that is too much trouble for me to go through in order to read the article. I don't want a 'lasting' relationship with any one newsoutlet, I want to be able to sample from a very broad spectrum of outlets so that I can get an idea of what the biases are (and get closer to the facts, rather than what the editor determines the facts should be). Everybody keeps going on about how this change means the end of newspapers and journalism. I'm pretty sure the former is true, newspapers are as good as dead, but I think journalism has a glowing future, only not in the 'I'm employed by a big newspaper' sense. Journalists will probably evolve to become independent professionals charging top dollar for their output with online outlets bidding up against each other for the right to 'scoop'. That way even investigative journalism has a chance to survive. It will require journalists to become more business savvy.
