New York Times Considers $5 Monthly Web-Access Fee
Bloomberg – “New York Times Co. said in a survey of print subscribers that it’s considering a $5 monthly fee for access to its namesake newspaper’s Web site. In the survey, Times Co. also asked whether subscribers would be willing to pay a discounted fee of $2.50 a month for Web access. The Web site, nytimes.com, is currently free. Catherine Mathis, a spokeswoman for New York-based Times Co., confirmed the survey in an e-mail.”
I’d be willing to pay $5.00/month for access to the NYT’s website. I’ve been enjoying if for free for years, but I’d be willing to pay $5.00.
