This might be irony or it might be more evidence, if evidence is needed, that Encyclopedia Britannica still doesn't get it: I'd love to read the interview in the Chicago Tribune, but it's behind a paywall. Can anyone give a short summary? - Dank (push to talk) 12:49, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

I was able to read the whole thing my first visit, but I'm unable to replicate that for some reason. Maybe because I went through Google News the first time? Gamaliel (talk) 15:02, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, going through Google News produced this link, which is working for me (for now). - Dank (push to talk) 16:29, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

The story, in a different (non-paywalled) publication, is here. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 04:25, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

"Unlike some publishers, the company has yet to delve into native advertising — paid online editorial content designed to lure readers."

"If Britannica becomes an anchor on the Web for people that are wanting to learn and know, we can do a lot of things with this brand. It can be very, very profitable."

Sounds interesting... --NaBUru38 (talk) 18:08, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I read "600 million library books". It should be "600 million pages" since Internet Archive scanned around three millions books. Cantons-de-l'Est (talk) 23:42, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

You're right, I accidentally a word from the BBC article. It's fixed now. Gamaliel (talk) 23:46, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
