New York Times to Begin Charging for Web EditorialsAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on May 17, 2005 - 8:13am.
New York -- The New York Times Company has announced plans to begin charging for Web access to some of its columnists' editorials and story archives. The TimesSelect service will be free for print edition subscribers, but otherwise will cost Web users $49.95 per year. While the majority of the paper's content will remain free online, the major effect of the new service will be that editorials from columnists including Frank Rich, Maureen Dowd, Paul Krugman, David Brooks and Nicholas Kristof will not. Some argued this will decrease their overall influence, as bloggers in particular will be less likely to link to paid stories. "There were people arguing to put the entire thing in," the Times' Martin Nisenholtz told the Associated Press. "There were people arguing to put none of it in... I think we've made the decision we've made for the foreseeable future." Nisenholtz added that the new service is expected to further increase the more than $1 million a year that the paper's online archives generate.

New York Times Buys Primedia's About.com for $410 MillionAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on February 18, 2005 - 4:58am.
New York -- The New York Times Company announced late Thursday that it has agreed to acquire About.com, a unit of publisher Primedia that provides online consumer information, for about $410 million in cash. New York-based About.com offers a database of information, produced by a network of 500 amateur editors, on topics ranging from finance to health and travel that is viewed by 22 million visitors monthly. Primedia paid $690 million for About.com in 2000, but was unable to successfully integrate the Web company into its stable of niche magazines. The Times said that the purchase adds a fast-growing, profitable website to its portfolio, and strengthens its online advertising base. In a separate announcement, The New York Times Company also named Martin A. Nisenholtz senior vice president of digital operations, charged with overseeing sites including About.com, Boston.com and the company's flagship NYTimes.com. Nisenholtz was named CEO of New York Times Digital in 1999, after serving as president of the paper's electronic media unit since 1995.
