Freedom Communications, which publishes more than 100 U.S. newspapers, will charge non-subscribers for access to online content, StlToday.com reported.
Publisher Tyler Patton said the move towards paid content "will allow greater value to our many loyal print-edition subscribers by not giving away the news to non-subscribers." The changes will be effective Wednesday, with subscribers having free access and weekend subscribers paying US$3.56 per month for access to online content. Full access to online-only content will cost $3.95 a month, while daily subscriptions are priced at 75 cents.
