The New York Times to introduce metered payment model

Monday 25 January 2010 11:50 CET | News

Starting 2011, The New York Times will be introducing a paid model for NYTimes.com, providing users with free access to a certain number of articles per month and then charge by the article if that number is exceeded.

Print subscribers to the newspaper will continue to have free online access to NYTimes.com once the metered model is in place. The New York Times Company, a media company with 2008 revenues of USD 2.9 billion, includes The New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, The Boston Globe, 15 other daily newspapers and more than 50 websites, including NYTimes.com, Boston.com and About.com.

Currently, the Wall Street Journal and Newsday are the only major US newspapers charging readers for full online access.
