Adrian Monck: A response to Clay Shirky on newspaper paywalls
March 18th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Newspapers
Adrian Monck argues against Clay Shirky’s post earlier this week on the broken business model of newspapers, in particular the success of paywalls for financial news sites.
Their survival is ‘based around a professional community, no around the value of information per se’, writes Monck.
