To me, the print business model is so simple, where readers pay a dollar for all the content within, and that supports the enterprise.
Yes, people will pay for the Fox News Channel, despite the fact that the general feeling, one created by the Internet, is that everything should be free.
You can get any film now basically for free, and that's where I think the model we're talking about is - if you give people what they want, how they want it and when they want it, they're more likely to pay for it.
People have paid for content. They always have.
If you really care about content, you should pay for it.
The question I ask myself is what would have happened if newspapers hadn't initially given their content away for free on the Internet. It's so hard to get people to pay once they are accustomed to having something for free.
As a publisher, you should decide what content is free and what you'd pay for. You have to get the packaging right, but people will pay for content.
Pay-TV companies that built their businesses on the backs of local and network broadcast signals should pay a fair price for access to that high-value programming.
Univision is the only network where you pay for more, not for less.
As business models evolve, as the way you distribute content evolves, as the ability to do things online changes in terms of pricing or trial or sample, I think we've definitely always been out in front of the rest of our competitors.
In the summer of 2009, I modestly predicted that most major news organisations would be charging for content within 12 months. Charging, I argued, would not only plug the revenue gap; it would also help to re-establish value in their news product.
If you take a look at the way the premium content is monetized, there's a lot of different models out there. Sometimes you pay for an individual episode, for example on iTunes. Other times you pay for a subscription. And other times it's free ad-supported.
I'd like the reader to decide if he is willing to pay minute sums for content. I'd like the economics of web to be controlled between authors and readers, not advertiser.
Everyone is hungry for content and you are content creators and if you are not negotiating a good price no Robinhood is coming to save you.
When you have a TV show or when you are running a magazine, you have to remember that your audience isn't rich. They're not made of money.
If you think about it, for any kind of content on the web, the natural price per unit of these things should be under a dollar.
