The thing about paywalls is...they are a short term strategy (not that there is anything wrong with that).

@emilybell IMHO, they are not a strategy just a short term tactic.

. @jxpaton you are right - they should be, but think in some cases the tactics are given strategic status.

@emilybell My fear is the industry takes the short term paywall money and stands down on true digital innovation.

@emilybell but twitter and Facebook are VC plays so just a question of passing on to next gen investors. Not true of our fave paper
emily bell ‏@emilybell 6 Oct 2013

@timbrooks100 because there is no perceived innovation in news ..@BuzzFeed 's a VC play too.

@emilybell @jxpaton :) I hope so, but I don't see much optimism in our industry!
