Is it going to be done by the kind of people who value the quality of the New York Times reporting and opinion and analysis? No, I don’t think so. It’ll be mostly high-school kids and people who are out of work.
That’s New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. managing to sound elitist, intolerant, and completely deluded all at once in a single quote about who he thinks would try and elude his newspaper’s new online paywall. No, Arthur. It’s not just punk kids and the filthy jobless that’ll avoid paying for your oh-so-prestigious content.
