Dallas Morning News Publisher Jim Moroney: 'Not Confident' Paywall Will Succeed

The Dallas Morning News publisher Jim Moroney spoke with Justin Ellis at Harvard University’s Nieman Journalism Lab about the A.H. Belo-owned newspaper’s decision to erect a paywall, admitting that the move represents a gamble. Moroney told Ellis:

This is a big risk — I’m not confident we’re going to succeed. But we’ve got to try something. We’ve got to try different things. It’s not an over-the-cliff strategy. If this works, great, it’ll be fantastic. If it doesn’t, we can go back to providing access at a lower price or free.
