Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An online newspaper is an example of a club good. Club goods are non-rivalrous but excludable, meaning that the consumption of the good by one person does not diminish the availability of the good to others, but access to the good can be restricted to those who have paid for it or are members of the club. Online newspapers typically require a subscription or membership to access their content, making them excludable. However, once a subscriber/member has access, their consumption of the content does not diminish the availability of the content to other subscribers/members, making them non-rivalrous.
