Why I’ll be subscribing to a dead-tree newspaper this year
The previously online-only publication/club The Frontline Club is launching a broadsheet – and I have just subscribed.
My reasons are simple – and it’s nothing to do with content. It’s about community, and supporting a principle. (It’s for the same reasons (and free music) that I pay a monthly subscription to Bearded Magazine.)
I suspect community and the social contacts engendered and supported by the web will become an increasingly important part of news business models, and I wish The Frontline Club all the best in their efforts to explore this.
Oh, and you can subscribe here.
