The year of the paywall | The Economist

ON JANUARY 12TH the Standard-Times, a small Massachusetts newspaper owned by News Corporation, will begin charging for access to its website, SouthCoastToday. People who do not subscribe to the paper will have to stump up $3.37 a week to continue reading about high-school basketball games and local disputes over windmills. Even print subscribers will have to pay 39 cents extra a week to see every part of the website. The publication is small, but the move is significant. It is an early brick in a wall that can be expected to rise quickly this year.
