GlobalPost to unveil subscription service

Posted by Mediascaper on February 2, 2009

GlobalPost, an Internet start-up that covers international news, plans to expand its stable of correspondents. Check out the third way the company plans to raise money (via Boston.com):

One is the advertising on the site. A second is syndication deals with newspapers and other websites that will use GlobalPost’s stories. The third is a membership program called Passport, which will ramp up next month. For a $199 annual subscription fee, Passport members can join conference calls twice a month with GlobalPost correspondents, suggest story ideas, and receive text alerts about breaking news.
