And guess what they are going to lose all their advertisers. LOL! Boston Globe will be out of business in 1 year tops.

Fox is doing same.... Hmmmmm..........Not sure this is a good business model.

Sad to see that a forum that offers a conservative view is jumping onto this suicide mission.

Surprised they have lasted this long. NYT overpaid big time for this paper.
The other night on WBZ radio they were talking about the Globe’s boosting of their subscription rates—that may chase away many longtime subscribers.

I remember for awhile the Herald charged if you wanted to read Howie Carr’s column ($5/month or something, unless you were a Herald subscriber—something I have been for many years). Some papers like the Salem News also had a deal where you had to pay for online content—namely, you had to subscribe to the print edition to be able to read (more than just the headline) the online edition!
