Chicago Tribune Offers Sunday Book Review Section for $99 a Year

-- The 24-page book review section, entitled Printers Row, will be delivered with the Sunday print edition and online starting February 26 to Trib subscribers who shell out an additional $99 per year.

From Chicago Tribune introducing new book section as premium paid content, published January 24, 2012 by the Chicago Tribune:

"Subscriptions also will include access to member-only book events, such as the Tribune series of author conversations, and discussion groups.

Single copies will be available for $2.99 through Amazon.com.

Paid premium content represents a new potential revenue stream for newspapers, which have struggled to adapt in an increasingly fragmented media landscape. Different from a digital pay wall, where newspapers charge for access to basic content online, the Tribune's model may more closely resemble cable television, which charges an additional monthly fee for a variety of premium channels."
