PAY FOR WHAT? THAT’S THE QUESTION

Files under General | Feb 10th

2008_05_13_meshuToronto’s Globe & Mail blogger Mathew Ingram writes in the Nieman Journalism Lab:

What newspapers need to do is find ways of creating content that is more valuable than the perishable daily news — either by finding material that no one else has, or packaging it in a certain way, or by creating relationships around that content that draw people in — so that their readers either volunteer to pay, or spend more time with that content and as a result become more valuable to advertisers.

Amen.
