Times goes to paid content
Poynter Online - Forums: "In September we will be launching TimesSelect, a new product that provides exclusive access to Times Op-Ed columnists and a select group of Times and IHT news columnists on NYTimes.com. This offering will also include easy and in-depth access to The Times’s archives, early access to select articles on the site, as well as other exciting features. Home-delivery subscribers will automatically receive TimesSelect as part of their benefits. For others the cost will be $50 per year.
This approach achieves two important long-term goals:
First, it will create a new online revenue stream and provide us with additional resources to further strengthen our quality journalism and grow our digital future.
Second, it will complement other investments we are making on the Web
site, including a total redesign of NYTimes.com, the introduction of new verticals and multimedia features."
