Journal Gazette adds paywall


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.”
