Jason, Jason, and Guy: I really like your thinking here about the 70% figure. It definitely adds some support to Journalism Online’s contention that news sites could retain 88% of pageviews after putting up a limited paywall. But at the same time, it means the market for paid news content may be quite narrow. Some existing print subscribers would no doubt also subscribe the website, and the Wall Street Journal has succeeded with at sort of up-sell. But the key audience, as Guy identifies, is the 30% of core loyalists who aren’t reading the print edition. That’s about 8% of unique visitors. And from there, the math gets completely speculative. —Zach

If 86 percent of your traffic is driving by core loyalists, and 70 percent of them already buy the print paper, and most people argue that those who buy the print paper should automatically get some or full access to the paid parts of the online site, and only 30 percent of all users say they would buy the print paper if the online site weren’t free, what percentage exactly is the whole paid-content argument targeting? The argument changes from “Look at all these people reading us for free!” to “Look at all these people who already pay us for news, and look at that small group of people who we’ve never seen before and likely won’t again because they’re not from around here, and that other small group regularly reading us for free, most of whom will just go elsewhere if we charge admission.”
