Le Monde: No more free content
From now on, nothing bearing the «Le Monde» brand will be free at Le Monde. Anything reported, analyzed or commented on by the paper's journalists will cost something - even on the Internet.
Until now, many articles that appeared in the printed newspaper were available for free on Lemonde.fr. Sometimes even before they were printed. This is now a thing of the past. Only those with a subscription have access to the content. The offer includes a combined subscription for the newspaper, website, iPhone application and soon also for the iPad. This will initially cost readers 19.90 euros per month, a promotional price for the first three months, according to a Tagesanzeiger report. After that, the subscription will cost 29.90 euros.
