the same people who are loyally subscribed to the paper will pay for it online. more people are using the net regularly and will naturally pay for their fave paper. its the same market and they are basically anticipating their readers to start to use the net more so they are there waiting. it wouldn't work 5 years ago but the market is changing.
i think its mostly older professionals who are used to newspaper subscriptions but are now online a lot with tablets and laptops. i also think a lot of traditional mainstream newspapers are not interested in being apart of the whole web 2.0 social media world, they want a different audience and one that doesn't want to be on reddit. they want an AOL experience.
- i wouldn't be surprised if they will offer group/business rates to give a company access to the paper.uuuuuu
- they will likely have ads as well and their readers won't even blinkuuuuuu
- also they can advertise the online subscription straight to their readers so its not like they are hard to reachuuuuuu
- another possibility is creating a paper/online combo subscription to get them on the netuuuuuu
- print is dead, it costs too much so they want to migrate their readers to a digital model and make more, spend lessuuuuuu
