NY Times

The NY Times has given up trying to make money (with the exception of ad revenue) from its web site (article from the Times on decision). Perhaps of interest to history buffs, most of the archives will also be available. The NY Times site claims to be the most visited web site associated with a newspaper. The explanation for the change is unclear in the Times article, but the decision is similar to that of CNN in abandoning subscription access. I suppose the “information wants to be free” advocates will argue this move was inevitable.

I can’t claim to be a regular NY Times reading in hard copy or online. I tend to read what some of the editorial writers have to say in the books that eventually incorporate their work. Perhaps I will now make an effort to follow the education section.
