NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Times says it will start charging for access to its website and for the use of smart phone and tablet applications later this month in the U.S.
Beginning March 28, prices start at $15 for four weeks of full access to the website and the smart phone app.
Subscribers to the printed edition will keep free access to the website and apps. Others will be able to view 20 articles a month for free on the website and see the "Top News" section in the apps.
Newspapers are trying to increase digital revenue as online ad revenue, while growing, hasn't fully offset the declines in print.

They couldn’t pay me to read their propaganda.

$15 for lies, crap, libtardic nonsense and Obama ass-kissing propaganda?
YEA!!!!!!!!!!
That effectively removes their presence from the web, and they can go back to being a local paper.
It’s been a NIGHTMARE with them out there. Let’s hope the Washington Post is next.
Good luck with that!
LOL! Liberals always want free stuff. Young libs stealing music. They think free is a right.
This is gonna work out well.
To quote Ralph Kramden: “Har, har, har, hardy har, har har!”
Well that will put an end to the New York times website, since liberals want everything for nothing. They’re the only ones who read that website.
Roger that. I NEVER EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER go to the NY Slimes site. I REFUSE to even given them a “hit” to count on their site.
Old withered Vermont liberals aren’t going to go for this...
They have turned things around somewhat in the past quarter or two.
Left-wing bias and elitism aside, any business that gives away it’s product isn’t going to be around for long. At least NYT realizes that, and the entire newspaper industry is either going to have to follow suit or find something else to do.
the NYT must think people are willing to be paid to be advertised to.
The only way itunes works is for the songs to be dirt cheep and have long term value.
the NYT must be following the ZUNE model.
Heh - good luck with that, dummies.
Tell them that the online version is made from “green” TCP packets and they will feel good paying for the subscription.
Betcha they will tap into Stimulus funds. There will be scools that pay for this for da teachers, etc.
I guess I’ll have to not go there even more. Oh wait...
“This is gonna work out well”
lol. I’m on board with that;)
What fool would pay money for that crap?
