The Archives Problem

Here’s an anomaly that strikes a glancing blow against the pay-per-view model of Web publishing. (See the kerfuffle Doc initiated by suggesting that newspapers open their archives.)

The New York Review of Books generously has the entire text of Josephy Lelyveld’s review of Sidney Blumenthal’s Clinton book online for free. At the bottom is a link to the Letters to the Editors about the article. So far, so good.

The only letter to the editor so far is one from Lelyveld himself, titled “‘The Clinton Wars’: A Correction.” To read it, you need to subscribe to the online version or pay $4.00.

That’s just not right.
