Do magazines think people want to wait for their regurgitated content on a monthly basis again? No. They do not. Silly magazines. You're going to have to offer people subscriptions to a bunch of your sites. And not .pdfs.

From the looks of the picture, Martha Stewart is in bed with something other than the State Dept.

With that stick, it is no wonder she doesn't need a man.

"if people want to enjoy a fundamental baseline of serious news media in this country, they will have to pay for it, somehow."

I agree with this, but feel like it misses a larger point. This isn't exactly the full picture of how it worked during the heyday of print journalism, is it? Subscriptions made up a small percentage of revenue, but the rest was comprised mainly of advertising and classifieds. There really is no successful subscription-only media model that has ever worked, as far as I know.

You still have to figure out some sort of successful advertising model to complete the picture.

But.... unless I'm missing something, while the original links won't turn up on Google, any story of any real interest will be linked to by a host of of blogs and other sites and the stories will therefore end up on google anyway.

It just means that if I'm searching for a Wall Street Journal story I'll just have to first click on some business blog that's linked to it.

@drunkexpatwriter: Of course, Google could always choose to ignore this: [online.wsj.com]
