Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesMedium, the blogging and online publishing site started by Twitter cofounder Evan Williams, took the wraps off a new business model on Wednesday that it hopes will allow it to operate without advertising. The company wants to create a club of special members who pay $5 a month. In a blog post announcing the news, Medium said the membership will confer access to "a new layer of Medium." The company provided few details about the membership benefits, but said that the site would remain free to those who are not members.
