NYT publisher Arthur Sulzberger, on circumventing their new pay wall:
“Can people go around the system?” Sulzberger asked during an appearance at The Paley Center for Media here. “The answer is yes. There are going to be ways. Just as if you run down Sixth Avenue right now and you pass a newsstand and grab the paper and keep running you can actually get the Times free,” he said.
“We have to accept that. Is it going to be easy? No. Is it going to be done by the kind of people who buy the quality news and opinion of the New York Times? We don’t think so,” he said.
“It’ll be mostly high school kids and people out of work,” Sulzberger said, before adding “I can’t believe I said that.”
