Slate Plus Offers Modest Perks for Modest Fee

Slate editor David Plotz wants to make one thing clear about his pub’s new pay-for service for “vociferous readers” -it’s NOT a pay wall!

“We’re not asking you to pay for stories, and we’re not turning on a meter that stops you 10 stories into the month,” Plotz wrote in a blog post today. “Everything that’s free on Slate will remain free for all Slate readers.”

But the new Slate Plus will offer some perks to readers who pay $5 a month or $50 a year -ranging from members-only live chats to ad-free podcasts.
