Washington Post site goes to a paid mode

I remember some time ago, when a number of large media outlets decided to transfer their sites to a paid mode of operation (paid subscriptions for readers), many doubted the success of such an enterprise. In fact, almost all online media that have switched to this mode of operation have recognized it as successful.

For example, The New York Times now receives more money from subscriptions than from ads placed on the pages of its website. And yes, now on a paid basis, this edition has already 640 thousand readers of the site. Apparently, the Washington Post site will also be paid.

As usual, the mode of paid subscription to the materials of the publication will be involved, when access to several dozens of articles per month is granted free of charge, and all other materials are available only for a fee. And of course, the subscribers of the paper version of the site is also available for free.

So far, the pricing policy has not been determined, for example, it is not known how much the subscription will cost. But the transition to the paid operation of the Washington Post site is a resolved matter. By the way, one of the most active supporters of the paid work regime is Warren Buffet - the largest shareholder of the publication. The transition to the paid version is planned for this summer. Probably, after this edition, some others will follow who have not had time (or did not want) to switch to paid subscriptions.
