Washington Posts Extends Free Archives

While the New York Times has a decidedly schizophrenic approach to online content (making the old stuff subscription based, but publishing a free real estate blog). The Washington Post is at least moving in the right direction (WashingtonPost.com Extends Free Content Window)

In a bid to increase traffic and reap more online advertising revenues, WashingtonPost.com will allow articles to remain free on the site for 60 days before they go behind the subscribers-only wall. Previously, stories were only accessible for 14 days.

Now I’ll admit I’m not a big reader of the Washington Post in fact the last thing I read there with an regularity was Robert Wolke’s science/culinary column Food 101 (which seems to have stopped in April for some reason), but I digress. Newspapers simply don’t play a big part in my life. When I find one at my mother-in-laws house I read it because it’s quaint. However to be brutally honest I can get everything  except the coupons for the supermarket online much  quicker and easier. Here’s an idea why don’t the supermarkets publish the weekly flyer via RSS? So Washington Post at least you’re moving in the right direction.
