Is Paywall Really A “To Be or Not To Be” Question for Daily Press Publishers?

Author(s): Adam Szynol
Subject(s): Communication studies, Sociology
Published by: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego
Keywords: paywall; paid content; daily press; newsroom; internet

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to systematize the term “paywall” in the light of research presented mainly in foreign publications, scientific journals in particular, also specialist magazines and popular public studies. Due to the lack of such publications in Poland, the author’s aim is to partially fill this gap. Additional objective was to carry out an overview of practical forms of introducing different ways of payments/subscriptions for the online content featured by the publishers. The author is making an effort to meet the expectations of both academics and practitioners seeking for synthetic studies on the subject.
