Some print media to start charging for content
Print journalism is struggling to stay afloat and some outlets will soon ask readers to pay for content. Hearst Corporation has announced it will launch a wireless e-reader this year that will allow its owners to read magazines and newspapers electronically?for a fee. But with so many options out there, are readers willing to pay? To help answer that, we’re here with Jeff Jarvis, author of the book, What Would Google Do, and a professor of journalism at the City University of New York.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
