In our convos abt the future of journalism, we also need to talk abt subscription costs: NYT (digital): $180 WaPo (digital): $120 LATimes (digital): $98 WSJ: $420 All of this begins to add up. Yes, it takes money to do reporting. But the average person can't afford all this. 1/
It's actually within reach for more people than ever. I get the employee discount for the NYT, which of course most people don't get. But I pay $50/year for WaPo b/c I have Amazon Prime and LAT+WSJ (+ a lot more) is $120/year through Apple News.
