, Paywall is bad choice

The recent decision of The Waco Tribune-Herald to charge for online content is a shortsighted strategy that will have dire consequences regarding the paper’s popu- larity and profitability. Desiring to embrace the Internet is a valid strategic move, but this particular solution is not in the best interest of the company nor its readers. In the past two years, over 166 U.S. newspapers have gone out of business or stopped offering a printed paper, according to Paper Cuts, a company tracking newspaper closings. This is one indicator of the massive downturn in traditional media fueled by an ever-increasing adoption of Internet media. Newspa- pers are scrambling to adapt to this new preference in consumer consumption. On September 15th, The Waco Trib’s strategy for engaging the Internet went into effect. While global news is still avail- able for free, there is now a charge for accessing stories pertaining to local events and sports. This is viewed as pro- tecting their competitive advantage since national publications do not focus on Central Texas.
