The New York Times decision started to build a wall in front of its content last week. Meanwhile, Newsday of Long Island did the same not long ago, as did the Post-Gazette. With Newsday, the subscriber-based content had a relaunch that reportedly cost $4 million. However, just 35 paying subscribers signed up, each paying $260 per year. Go figure: $9,000 in annualized revenue for $4 million.
The ones that live upon putting ink on dead trees seem hell-bent on killing their watchdog stature as well as their businesses.
So, how many subscribers have come into the fold with the Post Gazette Plus endeavor. Would love to know.
