According to a Dec. 22 note from Ad Age (caught it on the PointCast
industries channel - Advertising), Slate plans to charge $19.95 for a
one year subscription as of 1998.

I don't read Slate, not due to any anti-Microsoft sentiment, but out of
pure lack of interest. Considering the GVU survey which states that
the main reason many people won't pay for web content is because they
can find similar/comparable content for free elsewhere, I wonder about
the feasability of this. Does anyone believe Slate's content is so
compelling as to make it worth paying to receive? Does anyone agree
with this price which is equal to if not exceeding the price for a
snail mail subscription to most print monthlies?
