"Moving to a subscription model also reflects trends across the media landscape and the need for organizations like ours to find revenue sources beyond the digital and job advertising that have historically sustained Inside Higher Ed."
"We realize not everyone will be on board with this shift. Some people might stop reading out of principle. Some may say they can't justify the cost."
"We also believe higher ed is stronger when it's served by robust journalism, and our work will only become more valuable as AI slop takes over our feeds."
Starting April 23, Inside Higher Ed will implement a subscription model for its news and analyses, marking a significant shift from its founding as a free resource. This change aims to ensure the organization can continue providing accurate and engaging reporting in the face of evolving media trends and challenges such as misinformation and AI threats. Despite potential reader pushback, the decision is deemed necessary for long-term sustainability and to enhance the value of journalism in higher education.
