Editor and Publisher Brings Down Pay Wall
Posted on December 13, 2010 by Mediabids
From MIN:
Editor & Publisher’s Web site EditorandPublisher.com announced to readers on Friday
that it would no longer restrict access to its content to paid
subscribers. The venerable media-on-media trade brand was sold by
Nielsen in January to Duncan McIntosh Company, which inherited the
online subscription model. In a statement at the site, publisher Duncan
McIntosh said, “Nielsen had been using [paid access] for a number of
years, but nothing during the past year has changed our opinion about
them.” McIntosh says that he and the staff had never been “big believers
in pay walls." "We have removed it to build more traffic and make more
of our original content available to our visitors," he says.
The brand, which started in 1901, continues to publish on a monthly basis. Print subscriptions are $65 a year.
