Making news sustainable: Should we charge for in-depth reporting?Posted on: 05/02/2010 Access to Information Region: Worldwide
Around the world, news organizations are beginning to charge readers for access to certain content. Britain’s The Economist, for instance, provides specialized investigative reports for a fee through The Economist Intelligence Unit. And the U.S.-based GlobalPost offers members investigative reporting for additional fees through GlobalPost Passport.
In developing countries, few news organizations have the infrastructure or personnel to do investigative reporting. Should they consider the business model spearheaded by news organizations that are charging for access?
