Still no plans for a Post paywall

From Romenesko:

At the AAJA convention in Detroit, Post executive editor Marcus Brauchli said “we are quite content being the largest free premium newspaper online” and that a paywall won’t be going up anytime soon.

This position shouldn’t have come as any surprise to any in the audience. Washington Post Company Vice Chairman Bo Jones said much the same last spring, and Post Chairman Don Graham restated that position last December, adding, “We’re not going to be pioneers on those experiments, but we’ll be watching everyone.”
