Is The New York Times Paywall Protecting Print Or Taking Down Apple?

Damon Kiesow writes an intriguing piece at Poynter, first and foremost because he clearly breaks down the various cost options for the New York Times paywall. The mythology surrounding the paywall has been so extensive as of late that one might think its pricing is confusing and impenetrable, but Kiesow makes it all seem very simple — just rather expensive. And not merely expensive, but expensive in such a particular way so as to (possibly?) target Steve Jobs’ chokehold over our daily media consumption.
