Brill's Paper Chase

The Scranton Times-Tribune and the Augusta Chronicle, not exactly mega-market dailies, are at the forefront of what will be a wave of newspapers adding a meter-based subscription offering this year, according to former Wall Street Journal publisher, Gordon Crovitz, now co-founder of Journalism Online. The company’s Press+—which the two papers are using—is a tech platform designed to help newspapers, magazines and Web-only publishers derive more revenue from their sites.

In the market since last summer, Press+ allows publishers to charge for access to portions of their sites and in whatever fashion they see fit.
