mediabistro Poll: 65% Say Paywalls Won't Save Newspapers

The mediabistro blogs collectively asked readers last week, “Do you think paywalls will save newspapers?” After a week, we closed the poll. 1,682 people voted. Here are the results:

° 65% : No, in fact it’ll be the beginning of the end as readers flee to other free sources.

° 20% : No, it’ll generate some revenue but won’t make a meaningful difference.

° 12% : Yes, making readers pay will generate the revenue newspapers need to stay afloat.
