Salon.com’s New Experiment: 3 Days Free, 2 Days Paid: Steve Outing comments on Salon.com’s new experiment involving its sex-advice column by writer Cary Tennis. This column was recently brought under Salon’s premium subscription umbrella. Apparently the loyal readers didn’t like the move, so for this five-day-a-week column, three of his columns are free for everyone to read and the other two are available only to paying Salon Premium subscribers. Outing, however, believes that this approach is a mistake and a teaser Q&A everyday for free readers would be a better approach to enticing new subscribers.
