Yet another model to make online news pay

Jump to Comments

Thanks to Jessica for sending me the link to the new Journalism Online website – home of an effort to create a syndicate of paid-for newspaper content on the web [UPDATE: now rebranded].

This is the organisation that apparently has 170 daily papers on board already, though it hasn’t actually got around to telling us which ones they are.

It also features a page of quotes from sundry media sources under the banner “Why readers will pay for online news”.

None of these quotes is from a reader. I’m just saying…

[UPDATE June 2010: These quotes have been removed from the site. I wonder why...]
