Times Select Goes to the Graveyard
At midnight tomorrow night, the New York Times will end its hugely unpopular Times Select program, which required readers to pay to read their columnists.
It's been two years since I've read Maureen Dowd. I've only seen Frank Rich's column when another blogger has posted it. Sometimes, there would investigative pieces put behind the wall that I would have liked to have read and blogged about. Sometimes I read them on Lexis the next day. Mostly, I forgot by then.
The Times Select program had to be one of the worst decisions ever -- both business-wise for the Times and for news consumers.
Now that it's over, I'll be spending more time at the site.
