This news is from last week, but since the New York Times ‘paywall’
goes into effect tomorrow, we thought it was quite timely. From
Harvard’s Nieman Journalism Lab:
Hilariously, this article goes on to suggest that even though the New
York Times spent $40 to $50 million dollars erecting this ‘paywall,’
they intended it to be easily defeated:
[...]
Only the Solons at Harvard school for journalism could concoct such a
laughable theory when the truth is so painfully obvious.
The Times screwed up. Big time.

The real joke is on the yobs who invested so much effort breaking into NYT content.
ReplyDeleteThat's like putting your arm down public toilets to gather lost coins. So easy, even a Democrat can do it.
Agreed. Ten years ago the TIMES still had clout, scripting as they did the nightly news coverage. They still do I guess, but nobody watches television news, so there you have it. Turds in the punch bowl, so to speak.
ReplyDeleteI can live without the NYT.
ReplyDeleteThis is similar to the experiment the NYT conducted 4 or 5 years ago when it tried to charge for its editorials (Dowd, Rich, Brooks, et al).
All that did was further marginalize its odious slate of editors.
The NYT is a joke.
I already have a watch; why do I need a New York Timex?

I can't imagine anyone (who doesn't have shit for brains) wanting to bother taking the time and expending the effort to crack the paywall. Hell, I long since stopped expending the effort even to click.
