Paywalled NYT Now Has 300,000 Online Subscribers

Posted by timothy on from the hopefully-you-won't-have-to-log-in dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It looks like the derided-on-slashdot paywall for the NY Times hasn't brought down the paper so far. The Times now reports 300,000 digital subscribers (to e-reader versions and the web combined) and digital advertising revenue for the part of the company that includes the paper has increased 6% this quarter."

    Keep in mind that every print subscriber gets a free top-of-the-line digital subscription. Its actually cheaper to get the paper edition and recycle it then it is to just get the online, in fact, which is annoyingly stupid.

    Cheaper to have a single home land-line phone, too. Odd how many people have mobile phones, isn't it?
