NYTimes to begin charging for news in 2011

View Comments 7 months, 15 days ago.

The New York Times have announced that they plan to charge for news as of 2011:

The new approach, referred to as the metered model, will offer users free access to a set number of articles per month and then charge users once they exceed that number. This will enable NYTimes.com to create a second revenue stream and preserve its robust advertising business. It will also provide the necessary flexibility to keep an appropriate ratio between free and paid content and stay connected to a search-driven Web.
