People should be able to personalize their news. When the
newspaper gets dropped off to your house, you may have a tradition of taking
out the sports section and the world news section. The rest goes in the trash
and feels like a waste of money. What if each section had a price on it and you
could make your own newspaper. I wonder if this would make more people want to
buy an actual print subscription. The same concept can be taken to digital platforms
that deliver news. As of now, when you log onto say, The New York Times, there
are a list of categories in a column on the left side of the page where people
can click to read whatever they want. Maybe people would be more inclined to
buy digital subscriptions if they knew that when they logged on, they wouldn’t be
bombarded with news that they don’t see as useful or interesting. Their home page would be already filled with a variety of news stories that they want to know about. This is an
idea I had about how to entice people to subscribe to news publications more
often. This personalization option is something that would only be available to
those with a subscription.
