Blogs have been abuzz with "leaked" information about the New York Times' forthcoming paywall. So far, the details are scant. It appears, though, that the Times will give limited "free" access to content, then charge consumers for news beyond that as yet unspecified limit. Beyond that limit, users likely will have to pay for an online subscription. It's an interesting concept; as discussed in class, The Wall Street Journal operates one of the only successful paywalls among large, nationwide newspapers. The Times has failed in the past, and it will be worth looking out for to see whether this plan gets it together.
