The charging-for-content thing has been gaining traction (or, at the very least, a few media companies have been signalling their intention to do it, even if the usual gang of new media pundits still think it’s a dumb idea) for several weeks, and in that time I’ve started to think: You know, I probably would pay to read the NYT online. Their reporting is better, their blogs are more interesting, and the breadth of information they offer is wider than anything else out there. So, sure, that’s probably worth a few bucks.
