The Selma Times-Journal to Erect Paywall March 1
Speaking of paywalls, The Selma Times-Journal is targeting March 1 for its move to a pay model — actually, three pay models. The Alabama newspaper will offer full-time access for an entire year for $48; one month for $4.95; or two-day passes, which it did not specify the cost of.
Print subscribers will receive rebates matching their digital costs should they elect to participate.
The decision by the Times-Journal had nothing to do with Wednesday’s introduction of the Google One Pass content payment system, as the newspaper will use PayPal.
Times-Journal publisher Dennis Palmer said:
For more than one decade, we’ve offered our news content free through our Web site following the early trend of newspapers delivering digital news content in such a manner.
