Surely you keep blogs out of pay walls?

As the New York Times prepares for paywall territory,Arthur Sulzberger, Janet Robinson, and Martin Nisenholtz of the NYT all took the opportunity to talk at length about their paywall plans.

Reuters reports that

Nisenholtz did say quite clearly that he expected ad revenue to go up rather than down, which implied to me that that paywall was going to be pretty porous.


However the biggest shcok seems to be that the blogs will be behingd the wall and this could really be a bad move.

blogs rely on loyal readers who come back to read them often. But few blog readers are loyal enough to pay for the privilege of reading that blog.


Later says the report,the NYT's confirmed that yes blogs would indeed be behind the paywall
