The newspaper industry is dying a slow death. In the last few years, a number of newspapers have been forced to shut down. With the proliferation of the internet, instant information and less advertising revenue, newspapers have found it difficult to monetize their content.
JournalismOnline.com is attempting to change that. According to the company, they hope to monetize newspaper content in a way that could generate millions of dollars. If they are successful, they may be the saviors of the newspaper industry.
The model that JournalismOnline.com is a password-protected members area that will supposedly make it easy for both newspapers and consumers to get what they want. While this startup is still in its early stages, it’ll be interesting to see if they are able to make any headway.
With the amount of free news that is available, it seems unlikely that people will suddenly be willing to pay for newspaper content. But if JournalismOnline.com can get enough newspapers on board, consumers may have no other choice.
