Has Salon Lost Its Way?:

Has Salon Lost Its Way?: “And if the display on any of the stories does happen to pique his interest, it often has the star next to it which signifies the content is available to Premium members only. (You can’t fault Salon for trying this model, since they need dough, but one can only imagine how many loyal and prospective readers have left Salon because they don’t want to pay the $30-a-year subscription fee to access all the content.) “

This is the new reality...and what I call the “paid transition blues.”
