Most of what is important to know NOW is very much available elsewhere. Other information like where the swine flu has reared its ugly head and local sports scores can be found places like BDN(and much of the time its better information, especially the latter). If nothing else the move is a risk because it gives people a impetus to try a competing product. Whenever that happens, some will choose the competitor.

The Janesville Gazette thrives on producing content that nobody else is covering. With that in mind, only the Janesville Gazette can make their newspaper content "old" by posting that exclusive content on the web before it runs in the newspaper. It kind of makes sense for a smaller newspaper to say if you want this unique information early you're going to have to pay for it, rather than giving the information away for free in the first place, and then charging your loyal customers full price to read news that is now "old" because you posted it on the web.

It sounds like complete resentment for the way society is trending. Instead of delaying content they should embrace the fact they have a print publication still and put stories online that tease the readers. "Want to read more on this story? Pick up the Gazette" while still featuring some full length articles. I guess I can’t fault the Gazette for trying something different even if it is wholly misguided.
