Why did the website subscription cost?

A web site is a publishing venture.

It offers economies over the 19th century models in that it doesn't require printing and distribution of paper.

Advantages

  • Lower manufacturing cost
  • Lower distribution cost
  • More environmentally friendly
However, does this mean there is no cost in e-publishing?

Not so - there are significant technical, service and labour costs incurred.

Service Costs

  • Web hosting and security.
  • Bandwidth - the website owner pays for each page, image and video viewed by readers.
  • Legal and accounting costs.

Labour costs

  • Editorial
  • Journalists
  • Technical experts
  • Graphic artists
  • Web programmers
  • Marketing
  • Customer service
Like print publishing, e-publishing may be a small scale effort or large scale effort.

It may be specialist or generalist in focus.

Each publication will have different standards of presentation and editorial.
