PaidContent ha fatto una piccola inchiesta sui risultati dei giornali online che fanno pagare l’accesso al servizio. Ne emerge un quadro piuttosto poco incoraggiante:
The newspapers tend to be located in smaller, often rural markets; online-only subscriptions are typically priced at a substantial discount to the print edition (in general, about 75 percent of what the print product costs); where numbers are available, the number of online subscribers is still a tiny percentage of their print counterparts (less than 5 percent); and many of these papers say they began charging not so much to make money online, but rather to protect sales of their print editions.
L’idea è insomma per ora poco sviluppata e ben poco risolutiva. Come ci si poteva peraltro aspettare che fosse. Ecco i dati.
