Comment on Restart of Three Mile Island tests US appetite for nuclear revival

FT asking $75/mo for digital access is insane. I’m happy to pay for quality journalism but that’s simply out of reach for most Americans. I’d love to know how their management determined this was an appropriate price.

While the difference isn’t huge, it looks like that’s for their “premium” package. Their standard one is $39.

It looks like that’s on the high side, but not radically so compared to typical American newspapers.

Local/regional papers – $10 to $30 per month

Also, not that FT is British, not American.

Because the people who can afford and are willing to pay are a certain demographic.

It’s all about personas and marketing testing!
