Can’t Pay for the News? Tough Luck. No Journalism for You.


Opinion article from the New York Times by Lydia Polgreen, 6/13/23

Headline:  “It’s Not a Good Sign When People Who Don’t Pay for News Have So Little to Choose From”

“For the better part of two centuries, news that was free (or at least felt free, owing to its reliance on advertising) was good business. But the advertising dollars that once underwrote ambitious mass journalism are now stuffing the pockets of technology billionaires. We’re all — even those of us willing and able to pay for quality journalism — the poorer for it.”
