The NYT is going to be costly next year--for those folks who read enough articles per month, they will have to pay get access. Or not. I think the Slate piece probably has it right--the Times needs to take advantage of the 40 million pairs of eyeballs it gets rather than shrink the set to only those who pay.
I would pay if the price was not too high. How about you? Invest in the NYT? Alternative news source? Or find ways to defeat the NYT wall?
The NYT is of significant value to me. Why should I not pay for it? Today's damn kids think everything that you can get on the internet should magically be free.
