NYT to start charging for frequent use of the site

[rhu]

The NYTimes has announced that they will start charging for "frequent" use of the site beginning next year. It will be interesting to see how they walk that balance beam. Print subscribers will continue to get unlimited access (*phew*) but I wonder how they'll handle multiple users from a single subscribing household.

They did it before, and the world went elsewhere.

Now, the world has a year to prepare to take their readers.

I find The Washington Post and NPR and BBC just as good.

With print subscriptions, there are still multiple users in a single subscribing household. So they should apply the same model.

Actually, my parents used to get two papers so they could each do the crossword, but I suspect that is somewhat abnormal.

My parents did that, too!
