The Times-Tribune of Scranton to Erect Paywall Jan. 18

Add The Times-Tribune of Scranton, Pa., to the list of newspapers implementing paywalls, as it announced that starting Tuesday, Jan. 18, users would be able to read 10 stories over a 30-day period, after which they will be asked to subscribe.

Print subscribers must pay $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year, while nonsubscribers will be charged $6.99 per month. The home page, obituaries, blogs, and classified ads will remain free-of-charge.

The Times-Tribune publisher Scott Lynett said:

After years of giving it away on the Web, we’re going to begin charging a very nominal price for the news, which costs us millions of dollars every year to produce.
