JCA Fall 2013 Mass Comm-Newspaper

USA Today President and Publisher Larry Kramer said at a panel in New York that the paper is "exploring" a paywall, Keith J. Kelly reports. Reached by email, Kramer told Poynter, "No plan exists. We're studying it." Kramer also said the paper will remove its trademark white boxes from some locations, Kelly reports. It expects sales from such boxes to decline by about one-third after a planned price hike from $1 to $2 next Monday: "Most people are not going to have eight quarters in their pocket," Kramer told the panel
