Times Paper in Massachusetts to Charge for Online Content

The Telegram & Gazette, a New York Times-owned newspaper in Worcester (MA) said that it would begin charging readers to view some of the local news articles that appear on the paper's Web site. Starting on August 16, the paper began using a metered pay wall model that will allow readers to view 10 local news articles per month free. Once they reach that threshold, they will be able to buy a variety of online subscriptions, ranging from a $14.95 monthly pass to a $1 day pass.
