Another Paywall Falls, Readers Don't Want to Pay for Online News
Another wall tumbles: The Dallas Morning News dismantles its paywall, tries to sell premium features instead — paidContent: "Readers don’t want to pay for news online - Moroney said that research the newspaper did with print subscribers showed that what readers were willing to pay for wasn’t the actual content itself, but the method of delivery — that is, the printed newspaper. When offered the exact same content online for a price that was 90-percent less than the average print subscription rate, only five percent of readers said they were interested."

Print Media vs Digital Media
Print media vs Digital Media--an interesting take below:
Print Media: Residential Education / Digital Media : Online Education | Inside Higher Ed: "For years we have been print Newsweek subscribers. Now that Newsweek has abandoned print and gone to all digital I have abandoned Newsweek. Even with a "carryover" subscription (free online until my subscription runs out), I will not read Newsweek online. Why? Because I can get general news much faster and easier from Google News. Because general online news is a commodity. Perhaps my continued print subscribing to Newsweek was a holdover, but I enjoyed the experience of reading the magazine on glossy paper. I like reading my print magazines from front to back. Sharing stories with my wife by carrying the magazine to the couch where she is sitting. Watching my kids carry the magazine around, and in years past occasionally turn the pictures into school posters. What media do I participate in online? The key word here is "participate". I participate in InsideHigherEd because the community (you) is at least as important as the content. The discussions around the articles and blogs are one-half of the value equation. This sort of participatory media requires specialization. A community of practice. I go to InsideHigherEd for all things higher ed. Specialized news and an informed and active community. Perfect for online. I'll keep subscribing to the paper version of the Economist. The Economist is a premium brand, a reliably high quality experience. The Economist is media which I consume, rather than interact with, and the high cost of the print subscription is justified by the high fidelity of the reading experience. . . ."
