Las Vegas Review-Journal to charge for online content


The Las Vegas Review-Journal has announced that it will charge readers for access to online content.
Starting Sept. 5, visitors to reviewjournal.com and the Review-Journal’s mobile app can have five free story views over 30 days at no charge. Access to additional content will require a paid subscription. A digital subscription will cost $8.99 per month.
The Review-Journal will offer an introductory digital-only subscription rate of 99 cents per month for two months, the paper says.
“The Review-Journal’s website has provided excellent coverage of the valley at no charge for more than 20 years,” said Glenn Cook, the Review-Journal’s executive editor. “But employing reporters, editors, photographers, videographers and artists to tell stories has never been free. In order to preserve the depth and quality of coverage Review-Journal readers expect, our digital readers will have to join our print readers in paying a modest subscription fee.”

Print subscribers, who already can read the Review-Journal’s print replica e-edition, will receive unlimited digital access at no additional charge.
