NYTimes.com Plans for Paid Content Online
The New York Times is making a bold move to paid content for its online edition beginning next year. Many media watchers have questioned whether this would mean to the most famous traditional newspaper in the United States.
NYTimes.com has now revealed its details of the payment plan. The entire web site will be free to subscribers of the newspaper. Its new approach, however, will enable visitors to use a metered approach to the Times. Meaning, that visitors will be entitled to receive some news content for free, but once a certain level is reached, the user will have to pay.
The idea seems to be a move back from its original position and will allow it to sell a unique visitor cume to its newspaper internet advertisers.
