One novel consequence of the new paywall model of journalism is that only your subscribers even see your articles. It used to be that when an important article was published in a national newspaper, everyone concerned had read it. Now only subscribers have.
The Financial Times published an important (sounding) article about politics recently. I sent a link to a very well-connected Democratic donor in Silicon Valley. He couldn't read it because he's not an FT subscriber, and neither could I, because I'm not either.
The paywall model may keep publications from going out of business, but it greatly decreases their influence. Now they're just newsletters.
Not really... it gets shared onwards!
Another element reinforcing polarisation in the community perhaps? (If the reach of shared content is smaller than critical mass of a voting populace)
In this world, do you think it'd be better to release samples of important content or of unimportant content to sell your product (journalism)?
some paywalls have exceptions for such articles.
The issue isn't the subscription model per se, it's that in most cases it's not possible to purchase a single article or it's prohibitively costly.

Subscription-based publications could consider making the content open after a certain time. The subscribers get immediate access but good articles find their way into the open.
so much news is timely. how many people care to read about soleimani this week? does that mean people still shouldn’t know who he is or the circumstances of his assassination?
