The idea is not as crazy as it sounds. It’s an online publishing strategy.
Well, it turns out the leak was true.
The New York Times announced today that the TimesSelect premium content service is ending at midnight. Almost all of the paper’s content dating from 1851 to present will be free online starting tomorrow.
For two years NYTimes.com charged TimesSelect subscribers for access to columnists and archives. Many other parts of the website remained free during this period, making NYTimes.com a subscription and advertising based hybrid website.
