Yes. Now, the information is free. For example, think of how many websites around the world you can now visit to read about a major tragedy, an explosion, or a plane crash.
We decided to go with the free model, because we think it helps us reach young readers and helps us get new readers.
Over time, will this model evolve and will we offer special, for-pay content? Perhaps, but for now, it's free. That's why we have 260,000 readers.
The free model isn't uncommon. The broadcast model is also a free model. It's just a matter of looking at things differently.
