Bernard Hickey and Barry Colman talk about making money from news online

A very interesting interview that Bernard Hickey (Interest.co.nz) shared with me. The interview highlights the difficulty that the papers have in dealing with the Internet and all the free news and content. No doubt papers are looking at the delicate balance of attracting enough repeat visitors to earn advertising revenue but also applying some kind of pricing model for their content.

Its a very interesting subject.

Bernard Hickey and National Business Review (NBR) Publisher Barry Colman talk on TVNZ’s Media7 about how to make money from financial news online in the wake of the Colman’s decision to charge for some news. It’s fair to say Barry and Bernard disagree in a respectful way.
