New York Times newspaper website will be paid

And you will have to pay this month - if before the resource could be read for free, an unlimited number of publications, now you will have to pay for the materials. However, you can view 20 articles per month for free, if you want more, you will have to pay. It should be noted that those who subscribe to the paper version of the publication receive free access to the newspaper’s website. In addition, owners of applications for mobile devices will be able to read the free top newspaper news. But for everything else you have to pay.

For example, for a package that includes a subscription to an electronic version and an application for a communicator, you will have to pay $ 15 per month. In addition, the same package, only with a tablet app, costs $ 20 a month. If anyone wants to read the New York Times, both on the communicator and on the tablet, they will have to pay $ 35 per month.

True, there are small bonuses - for example, if a user visits a newspaper site from a search engine or a social network, he will be able to read the necessary material without taking into account his subscription. That is, even if the limit has already been reached, this material will be available to the user. Just this way of access to the newspaper’s materials causes the greatest interest among free reading lovers. For example, what prevents to create a kind of browser extension that emulates access to a resource from the same Facebook? Nothing, and it is likely that in the short term after the inclusion of a paid subscription, such extensions will begin to appear massively.

By the way, now more and more publications are monetized in a similar way. Despite the fact that experts have promised disastrous results for online media with a paid subscription, some resources that have become paid, live and be well. The same edition of The Daily (by the way, which has become one of the first paid in the world), feels good. In general, we will wait until March 28 (the date of the introduction of a paid subscription to the materials of the New York Times), and there we will see.
