May 13th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Newspapers, Online Journalism
Towards the end of this article – which looks at the key players interested in backing/investing in the New York Times – is a comment from the company’s spokeswoman Catherine Mathis: the paper is considering charging for some of its internet site.
“Our goal is to add substantial new revenue from our users without materially affecting the growth of our industry-leading online display advertising business,” she said.
A new charging system for the WSJ was announced this week and tweets from the New York Times suggested a similar move could be made.
