The Journal Gazette (Fort
Wayne , Indiana )
instituted a metered paywall Jan. 15. Accessing news online from the paper now
requires a subscription.
People with a seven-day print subscription can
read the paper’s online content at no extra cost, the paper said.
Scott Stanford, president and CEO of Fort Wayne
Newspapers, said the news content has value, regardless of whether it is
published in print or online.
An online-only subscription to The Journal
Gazette costs $20, with a one-month promotional price of $9.95.
“We have always charged for our print product
and we probably should've charged in 1996 when we began offering that content
on the internet,” Journal Gazette President and Publisher Julie Inskeep said.
“I think it is imperative we do so now.”
