American Journalism Review
Barb Palser asks: Do we really want to live in a subscription-based world? "Imagine daily life if all news sites started charging admission. The convenient micropayment system heralded in the '90s has not materialized, which means we'd be paying a fee to every news site we visited or for every story we read. If we're trying to drastically shrink the average person's news diet and broaden the online culture divide, that'd be a quick way to do it." || ALSO IN AJR:
