Into the debate on whither-pay enters Washington Post reporter Paul Farhi, writing for the American Journalism Review. His prescription: Put the paywall up, way up, or take content offline entirely. Farhi's logic: Such a move would restore balance and focus on the paper, where the dollars remain in a very finite advertising realm. It would take away the distraction of the Web and its siphon on the newsrooms. It's a provocative --- even irritating, considering the work that's been done --- argument for a return to an era of print-centric newsrooms.
