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!
Globe says NYT in no hurry to sell paper.
>>NY Times Co. says it is in no hurry to sell Globe
Paper’s finances called improved
>>The Times Co. is also selling its 18 percent stake in the Red Sox and related properties
Right!
I saw some other papers try that a few years back, and it did not work. They went back to the free model.
