Literary Criticism Defined. All forms of art have their critics. We read film reviews in our daily newspapers, television reviews in weekly blogs and, of course, book reviews in magazines. Criticism is how we evaluate and interpret art.
Pandora will soon raise the cost of its ad-free subscription music streaming service. Citing higher costs due to royalty fees, Pandora (P) is raising its Pandora One subscription price to $4.99 a month, up $1 from its previous rate. It is also doing away with its $36 annual subscription.
Pandora's free service is also getting some new features. As expected, Pandora has launched Pandora Plus, a rebranded and improved version of its $5-a-month Pandora One offering. It also has enhanced its free, ad-supported service, which the majority of its users take advantage of. The release of the updated services marks the beginning of a new era for Pandora, as the company will end 2016 with three tiers of service and an on-demand service to compete against Spotify and Apple Music.
