M(S*)MMM # 211 -- A Pay Wall for The Advertiser?

     The Montgomery Advertiser is considering a pay wall...requiring readers to pay a fee to access the paper's stories online. Editor Wanda Lloyd writes about it in a column in today's paper.

     The main thrust of her column ("Newspaper Readers Get a Dose of Reality")  is about the jarring announcement by the three largest papers in the state to go to a three day a week print publishing cycle in the Fall. She writes The Montgomery Advertiser has...

"...no plans to reduce the days of delivery of the print publication". 

     The CBS 8 newsroom had made calls to her, and to the paper's publisher, seeking comment about the other papers' change. Our calls were not returned.
     When The Birmingham News, The Press-Register in Mobile, and The Huntsville Times go to the three day a week schedule, The Montgomery Advertiser will be the largest daily newspaper in Alabama.
     You can read Lloyd's comment here free, at least for now.
     But hurry. There may be a pay wall coming to give readers another "dose of reality".
