Why do websites give me so much for free
June 9, 2009 · Filed Under Internet Media
As I read Naomi Wolf’s piece in the glossy Harper’s Bazaar on why Angelina Jolie is a feminist role model, I thought something I think every single time I hear a report bemoaning the death of traditional journalism, or questioning how social media sites like Twitter can possibly stay viable.
MAKE ME PAY FOR IT!!
Honestly. I don’t deserve all this good stuff online for nothing. If you all band together and make users pay, we will. We’ll have to. What is the big deal?
I think this is what Steve Brill is trying to do with his new Journalism Online model. It’s one for all, and all for one, or it’s nothing. That is the challenge.
