Conde Nast Against Pay Walls

Pam Horan, president of the Online Publishers Association, said "advertising will continue to be a very important revenue stream but the reality is in order for publishers to make this transition they have to find new revenue streams." But finding a model that blends free and paid is tricky. Some newspapers will or are charging online readers, but Conde Nast won't.

Julie Michalowski, vice president for business development at Conde Nast, said a pay wall is not the strategy being considered by the publisher of The New Yorker, Vogue, Wired, and other magazines. "What we want to continue to do is to build digital relationships so that we can have a multichannel relationship with our consumers that includes print and includes other ways that they want to access us," she said.
