Any organization that tries to take news behind a pay wall is just signing its own death warrant.

It didn’t work when the sources of information were much smaller and the Web was new to mass adoption. You saw AOL basically bleed subscribers with a lot of specialty areas with long time users.
The more successful sites have dynamic comments and interaction. If the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and large periodicals can’t get it done……
The thing is, I check in on papers where I previously lived fairly often, something I wouldn’t do if they became pay sites. I could easily hit television station sites who still have their old media advertising revenue in place plus the news broadcasts streaming and many with them archived for on demand for free.
Pretty hard to understand if you already can’t get people to subscribe to expanded content for a pittance how this would work.

You mischaracterize Circulate; it’s not a “for-pay firewall.” Folks interested in what Circulate really is can check our website, http://www.CircLabs.com.

NAA is a membership organization and therefore does not represent the newspaper industry and is funded almost entirely by large chain newspaper groups.

Many small market, suburban market and most weeklies are not members.
