Content is free online and for news industires to begin starting a paid subscription scheme may be dangerous.Section 2 (Truth is, a halting movement toward...)
Newspapers that are available online for free without paid subscriptions are always available meaning that industries that start paid subscriptions may have quite repetitive content.Section 3 (Beyond Mr. Sulzberger and Ms. Weymouth…)
Industries being able to start a paid subscription scheme would mean that they are able to generate a lot more revenue than what they have been making in the past years, it would mean that they will actually gain a reasonable, sustainable amount of profit.
Section 4 (For the industry, it is later than it should be…)Even though its very late for the news industry, they are still able to gain a little more revenue and profit from starting this scheme.
Davids argument is that news industries should start using a paid subscription scheme for users. This will enable them to read daily, weekly newspapers online exclusively to paid users. This helps ensure that news industries are still able to generate enough profit and revenue to stay alive as they're has been a major decline in print news in the recent years. This has caused journalists to lose a lot of jobs and also means that news industries have less, lower quality articles for users to read. David also goes on to say that the news industry is far far too late in introducing this scheme, it has been around 15 years since the internet was accessible to everyone and a lot of institutions and business manage to adapt to it well, but the news industry didn't. They offered they're content for free online but physical newspapers still had to be paid for. David also goes on to say that in order for this scheme to work very well across the news industry, every institution must be using it, this is so that users don't just rely on the instutions that are free, leading to a much higher dealing in those that are paid for. Also, if theres only a certain amount of institutions that have this scheme and others that don't it will lead to news being more repetitive and copied, meaning that people will be paying for content which is basically free.
Read this response to the article by Dave Levy, criticising and disagreeing with David Simon's viewpoint. What references to new and digital media can you find in Levy's response?
Levy goes on to disagree with Davids argument, he talks on how the news industry mislead the internet as more of a marketing industry other than a service provider, news industries have been offering free content for years, so if they were to offer a paid subscription now would users even commit to it? it also means that consumers must be committed and dedicated with news institutions. He also says that its too late for them as news is now published online on blogs, social media and forums, meaning that we don't even need to look into news institutions for news itself.
I believe what david is arguing for in his article, i believe that the news industries are bringing in this paid subscription way too late and that they should have done it in the very beginning, although now that the times by rupert murdoch has brought this delayed idea to life there is a slight chance that the news advantage can start gaining some revenue from new and digital media than before. If news instutions started this scheme back when the internet was viral they're wouldnt be any problems with the reduction of high quality journalism. I also believe that in order for the paid subscription scheme to work, every institution will need to be using it too in order for it to work in full effect simply because paid subscription services will have the same content as free sites, using a lot of repetition online.
