NY Times ends charges on website
“The New York Times will stop charging for access to parts of its Web site, effective at midnight Tuesday night, reflecting a growing view in the industry that subscription fees cannot outweigh the potential ad revenue from increased traffic on a free site.”
…
“In addition to opening the entire site to all readers, The Times will also make available its archives from 1987 to the present without charge, as well as those from 1851 to 1922, which are in the public domain.”
How sad is it that I am ridiculously excited about the 1851 to 1922 public domain archives being available at their site as of midnight tomorrow night? I don’t care how sad it is, it makes me happy…
SWEET!
That totally ROCKS!
