New York Sun Sees Light, Makes Web Free

When you’re a small, right-leaning, well-written newspaper in a major market these days, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to put your online content behind a pay wall. With your circulation already limited, cutting yourself out of the national (and international) online conversation by demanding subscribers pay only keeps your publication unknown to prospective readers.

Thus, we heave a sigh of relief that the New York Sun has decided to tear down that wall. What took so long?

The full release:

NEW YORK, NY — PRESS RELEASE — The New York Sun is pleased to announce that the newspaper’s main website will move to a free access platform, effective today.
