I won't be because I am not going to be a subscriber. I get mine off the rack, and there will be no need for that anymore.
"Globe plans subscriber-only site; Boston.com stays free; new digital products coming" by Robert Gavin, Globe Staff | October 1, 2010
The Boston Globe next year will split its digital news brands into two distinct websites, keeping Boston.com free while establishing a subscription-only pay site, BostonGlobe.com, which will feature all the content produced by the newspaper’s journalists, publisher Christopher M. Mayer said yesterday.
No need to pluck down my two bits anymore.
Subscribers to the Globe newspaper will have access to BostonGlobe.com as part of their subscription at no additional charge....
No thanks. Why would I even want a paper then, and if no paper why would I want to go to the Globe for news? I'm better off reading blogs.
Newspapers are launching paid websites as they seek new sources of revenue in the face of dwindling print circulation and advertising.
And it just dwindled down by one here; however, that does explain the stack of Globes in every convenience store, drug store, gas station, and and all other places fine AmeriKan newspapers(?) are sold.
While digital advertising is growing rapidly, it does not yet generate enough money to support the costs of extensive news-gathering operations....
I don't want to knock it; however, this is what the Globe investigates now.
You know, anyone can stand on a street corner, mall, or the supermarket, when they are not watching NECN and drinking coffee in the newsroom.
Meanwhile, The New York Times plans next year to adopt a so-called metered model in which users are allowed free access to NYTimes.com for a set number of articles per month, and charged once they exceed that number. Print subscribers would have free access to the site....
I never go to the New York Times website. The Globe was it, and now that is gone.
Committed readers who immerse themselves in stories produced by Globe journalists for the newspaper, Mayer believes, will be willing to pay for more extensive stories and other information....
Wrong.
As the Internet has developed and the advertising industry has changed, it’s become clear that advertising alone won’t be able to support newsgathering operations of newspapers, said Dan Kennedy, a journalism professor at Northeastern University.
He actually thinks accepting government press releases and reporting it as news is gathering?
“As we move ahead,’’ he said, “either readers are not going to care about the news, or if they do care about it, they’re going to have to pick up a larger share of the cost of journalism.’’
No, we simply will NOT CARE to READ DIVISIVE, DISTORTING, OBFUSCATING, AGENDA-PUSHING, WAR-PROMOTING, MUSLIM-HATING, SELF-SERVING, ZIONIST SUPREMACIST PROPAGANDA and LIES passing itself off as NEWS.
The Globe, like many other newspapers, has struggled in recent years as more readers and advertisers have moved from print to online.
That's a LIE!!

Yup, it was happening LONG BEFORE they say and the LIES are the REASON WHY!!
NO ONE LIKES a LIAR!! Can't you TELL by my COMMENTARIES?
Last year, with the national recession accelerating the decline in ad revenues and the Globe losing millions of dollars, the Times Co. threatened to close the paper unless unions agreed to deep concessions, which they eventually accepted.

How sad. No wonder AmeriKan journalism is in such shape.
Since then, the financial situation has stabilized....
Translation: the papers are losing less.

Making us pay more for the lies isn't going to work, Globe.
