As Newshub dies the elitist Democracy Project paywall is the bleak University funded future of NZ Media.
Paywalls are increasingly being used from the Democracy Project to all Newspapers and many media outlets meaning poor people don’t get access to public information which adds to their reliance on misinformation and disinformation.
TVNZ using Paywalls would be a means for National to argue people are showing their trust in TVNZ while providing a revenue stream.
National wants user pays to replace public funding, so why wouldn’t they try Paywalls on as a means to undermine accountability and do it cheaper.
The Daily Blog refuses to ever go behind a paywall because there shouldn’t be two different classes of information citizen, we support some Paywall writers as that is the only way they can afford to get their content out, but we will always keep access to the Blog free because citizens deserve access to opinions and analysis without the gated community attitude.
Martyn – Paywalls are another way of hiding how little people care about various news outlets’ products.
