Even if, like they claim, that the site will be more than just an electronic version of the newspaper, in today's world people just aren't going to pay for it. The best they can hope for is that people will still want the local news and will buy and subscribe to their paper editions instead.

kudos:18 | Too many better news sources - even local, that people with any Google(or Yahoo) skills can find.
Pay for this? 
I think someone dropped $650mil into the dumpster.

said by fAcEtIOUs:in today's world people just aren't going to pay for it. It's a good thing people become reporters to help society and do a service to mankind, rather than to become rich! Just like how musicians and authors are in it for the artistic expression and not to make money for the rest of their lives off of something that took them 10 minutes to think up.
Oh wait, both journalists and artists have become perverted corporate shadows of their former selves. Maybe they should get real jobs to help support their HOBBIES. You know, like the rest of us do. |

Boonville, NY | As I remember, the NYT tried this too.. It is funny though to see people who still think they are in the 20th century. They think that without their expensive printing presses and overpaid staff that the world will not be able to get any news. Clearly they have not logged on to the tube driven Internet lately..

LOL to call the reporters at Newsday "journalists" is a real stretch of the imagination.
Newsday has been in a state of decline for years doing a slow death spiral while morphing into a National Inquirer wannabe rag.  |
