Some print media to start charging for content
Print journalism is struggling to stay afloat and some outlets will soon ask readers to pay for content. Hearst Corporation has announced it will launch a wireless e-reader this year that will allow its owners to read magazines and newspapers electronically?for a fee. But with so many options out there, are readers willing to pay? To help answer that, we’re here with Jeff Jarvis, author of the book, What Would Google Do, and a professor of journalism at the City University of New York.
The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, the reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
When you make a gift of $10 or more a month, we’ll invite you to a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of our newsroom to thank you for being with The World.
