So far this week...
The FTC banned the use of noncompete clauses.
The DOL strengthened overtime rules.
The FCC restored #NetNeutrality.
The DOT expanded protections for airline passengers.

How can online newspapers increase readers' willingness to pay?
We tested 4 different advertising messages—alone and in combination.

1 emphasizing a subscription supports independent, inclusive, & watchdog journalism.
Another, giving the difficult financial situation of the news industry as a reason for introducing online subscriptions.
