Miami Herald ends Tip Jar progam

The Miami Herald has stopped asking for readers to donate money through its website to help support its journalism.

The paper reports: “In December 2009, the media company began providing a link for voluntary payment at the end of each online story. ‘After evaluating two months of response, we’ve decided to end the program,’ said Elissa Vanaver, a company vice president and assistant to the publisher. She would not say how much money the effort had raised.”

    Interesting. It's hard to decipher whether the program was ended due to an overwhelming response, or an underwhelming one. In either case, it hardly seems like a few months would be enough time to evaluate whether or not the program was worthwhile.
