Although I have subscribed to the AP feed since early last year, I don’t pay for it. I do subscribe to the Seattle Times with its high rates, because it uses the excellent journalist service; so I feel justified.

Although I started subscribing to the AP feed early last year, I’m not paying for it. I do subscribe to the Seattle Times which uses the AP News network to access good coverage of contemporary events and since I pay a great deal to the Times, feel justified.

This should not surprise anyone. The newspaper has been in decline since before I started in media, which was 2008.
Revenues slump, subscriber numbers fall, nobody* has any idea how to monetize news information aside from paywalls or ads.

*yes, there are special cases and valiant attempts, but not really any new business model that could save the news media business as a whole

AP is offering staff buyouts as it turns away from the newspaper and print journalism that sustained the company since the mid-1800s.

“We’re not a newspaper company and we haven’t been for quite some time,” AP executive editor Julie Pace says.
