NIKKEI's new approach

Nihon Keizai Shimbun:日本経済新聞(aka NIKKEI:日経), Japanese leading economic newspaper renewed its web site as Nikkei electronic edition (日経電子版). They were offering free news site "NIKKEI NET" until last week but they started their new web site require payment.

NIKKEI electronic edition is 4,000 yen (44.24 USD), this is only electronic edition. If you want printed edition, the cost will be 6,383 yen (70.6 USD) or 5,568 yen (61.59 USD). If you want only printed edition, the cost will be 5,383 yen (59.54 USD) or 4,568 yen (50.53 USD). These price is not annual amount. We have to pay these prices every month if we want to read.

Also, there is a free account but we can read up to 20 articles every month and read only headlines. And we need to register. If you don't have account, you cannot read any article you can read only headlines...

They want to keep readers who are reading printed edition, some intellectuals said.

I think, price plan for only electronic edition is really expensive! The Wall Street Journal 1.99 USD per week so, it will be 7.96 USD each month.

I hope they will reduce the price or I'm not going to subscribe it... lol

Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!
