Sudden Irrelevance

The New York Times Announces TimesSelect - New Online Offering to Launch in September

I'm betting Paul Krugman and Frank Rich are not very happy today. If they're like most writers, they want their work seen by as many people as possible. The decision by the New York Times to charge $50 a year (starting in September) for its online op-ed content guarantees that many of the millions who, like me, start the day with the NYT Op-Ed page will go elsewhere. This is a sad day for the internet.
