New York Times Offers Discount on Samsung Netbook if you Register for Times Reader 2.0 Online
Times are really tough for the traditional print businesses as subscriber numbers shrink, increased costs and less advertising cripple the industry. However, most of these old establishments need to learn that everything is slowly moving online and that they all need to have a strong online strategy.
The NYT has a digital version of its paper called the Times Reader 2.0. The digital version looks much like the real paper and can be accessed via a computer or netbook. The big catch is that the service is a whopping $179.40 for a year.
That is more than many will be willing to pay. Those that do cough up the money for a subscription will get a $100 credit at J&R towards a Samsung Go netbook. The other big catch is that the netbook is priced well above competing offerings already so even after the $100 off it still costs $279.
