DAYTONA BEACH -- More proof that the online digital payment requirement of the Daytona Beach News-Journal is not the cash cow for the print newspaper: Access was free during Bike Week as it was during Speedweeks.
Here's wondering if those subscribers paying the $9.95 monthly fee get a rebate cedit towards the next month's subscription? The way it works is you get five fee clicks per month and then id you want more access you have to pay the $9.95 monthly fee, unless of course, have a full seven-day home delivery pribnt subscription, then digital access is free.
The News-Journal was designated the "Official Newspaper of Bke Week" by the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce and printed the "official Bike Week Pocket Guide," which lacked basic information like the Bike Week Parade and cole slaw wrestling at the Cabbage Patch in Samsula.
Bike Week typically ends at high noon on Sunday -- today -- with the Bike Week Parade, but apparently the parade was on Saturday, even though it wasn't listed in the pocket guide nort was it listed in the chamber's Bike Week website or calendar.
The News-Journal started charging for online access in October.
