How do you spend $40 million on a pay wall? You don’t
No real surprises here: Sulzberger says the NY Times pay wall didn’t cost $40 million. Or even close.
He doesn’t share any further details, but my bet is that a lot of that $40 million is marketing and first-year revenue loss, tracked as a cost (with the assumption of better numbers in the out years).
