Get Pasted — For a Pittance
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Decatur-based Paste magazine is taking a cue from Radiohead. They’re both letting consumers decide how much they want to pay.
While Radiohead offered fans a download of new album “In Rainbows” for any price they wanted to pay, Paste has one stipulation. The minimum price for a one-year subscription is $1, which regularly goes for $19.95. They’re even encouraging gift subscriptions, so multiple subscriptions are possible as long as there is a valid address. They’ll be offering this special promotion through Nov. 12, so get it while you can.
Paste — which covers music, film, books and other entertainment options — continues gathering awards and accolades, too. It was named the magazine of the year by the PLUG Independent Music Awards for 2006 and 2007.
How much would you be willing to pay? Will you take them up on the offer?

This is really a great way to increase their subscription base. Especially, considering how many people like me, who may have nevr heard of their magazine.

Paste kicks ass. I’ll be interested to see the average price at the end of this promotion. I’m a subscriber now, so I’d pay full price, clearly…although given the chance to, I’d probably cash in on the opportunity to get myself and some friends this excellent publication for cheaper. $15/yr would be a steal.

I wish Paste would go back to doing the occasional DVD sampler. It was a great way to see short works by indie filmmakers.

I wouldn’t subscribe to any magazine.Their subscriptions have a bad habit of turning nasty.It would not be unheard of for this magazine to bill for the full subscription after this promotion.Many a good credit rating has been ruined by magazines.You won’t even know about it until you need to borrow money.
