he final document of the Toronto Star announcing Paywall

 The final document of the Toronto Star announcing Paywall 

 

Electronics The Toronto Star announced they will be launching a subscription model(aka paywall) to their website in the coming weeks. It is in the wake of their competitor, The Globe & Mail deploy the same thing last week to mixed reviews. All details, such as how to register and what the rest of the content will be free, will be available soon. But for now, the readers comments dozen odd show an obvious lack of enthusiasm for the plan. Some examples: "I pay for television and internet, I do not pay more ..." "Nickel and diming the never stops ... it will turn against all the newspapers ... " " You begin to take charge of what was already open and Ill take my new addition. Not a threat, just the facts. " There were some positive comments, too. A reader says: " I have no qualms about paying for quality journalism. Do not expect that the work product, research, reporting, writing, editing, publication, should be free. " Another adds: " If youre too cheap to spend less than $1 per day for a major newspaper read why The Star or their advertisers care to see you go? " Many others have adopted a wait and see approach. If there really is premium content, some seem willing to pay for it ., but if its just regular news, this is another story(no pun intended). We have two daily newspapers in suburban Toronto paper are given totally free, paid for by advertising. ago also RSS feeds, Google News, blogs and many ope

n sources. If there is a big story happens, you can not miss it. So I understand why people are not willing to pay for stuff they can get for free elsewhere. The trick will be to see if the documents can actually develop content that is not just run-of-the-mill. *** note: As something of a newspaper junkie, I would go on a limb and make a prediction regarding the two new online paywalls from our neighbors Journalism north. United States, the New York Times seems to be one of the newspapers print that has little to successfully transform its online edition in a previously free product(usually) paid. course, it is quite easy to understand why: The Times product quality journalism that is anything but run-of-the-mill. Joanna And as rightly pointed out above, it is difficult to charge people for something that is readily available elsewhere for free. Aside The Times , for example, a number of so-called blogs news

 hyperlocal successfully throughout the United States to charge readers for content, but only in cases where the new comparable are not available for free. Regarding my Prediction: Anyone who knows can tell you that new Canadian version of the New York Times is The Globe & Mail ., but the Toronto Star ? Not so much it. It is a good quality paper, but unlike The Globe & Mail , which I think will ultimately succeed in its paid content model, I suspect the Toronto Star eventually fail. Well see, I guess.(And if you are a Canadian citizen or international Newshound, we would like your prediction, too.) -DE Follow us @ TeleRead Join us on Facebook
