The newspaper suicide pactDan Conover of Xark says paid online content is one of the many ways newspapers are shooting themselves in the foot:
Does it matter that this is an idea with a known, recent history of failure? Or that human beings have no intention of paying for news they’ve always received for free? Does it matter that we already know a return to the paywall-era of the early 2000s will cost these legacy media companies money they will never recoup? No, no and no.
And another Dan, Dan Wineman, also has an excellent suggestion.
