Charging readers for online news critical for NY times
2010-03-12 | 03:04:52 pm
Charging online readers will give The New York Times a critical second revenue stream but the print newspaper will be important for "many years to come," publisher Arthur Sulzberger said Thursday.
Sulzberger, speaking at the Bloomberg Businessweek 2010 Media Summit here, also said he has no intention of selling the newspaper which has been in his family for generations.
The Times Co. announced in January that it would begin charging readers of NYTimes.com in early 2011, using a "metered model" that will offer users free access to a set number of articles before they will be asked to pay.
