Paid content at MediaNews Group
Dean Singleton, CEO of MediaNews Group, plans to start charging for online content of all MNG papers, rolling it out gradually starting in 2010. He announced the momentous decision at the annual convention of the National Conference of Editorial Writers Sept. 24 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
“We can’t continue to give everything away for free,” said Singleton. “When you give it away for free, it has no value. When you begin charging for it, it has some value.”
Subscribers will still be able to access any online content at no additional charge, and breaking stories will be free to all. You can watch the entire Singleton speech at KSL.COM, the online home of KSL TV in Salt Lake City.
