Times: Online fee causes readership figures to shrink
Die britischen Zeitungen Times und Times on Sunday haben im Internet seit dem Start ihrer Online-Bezahlschranken wie erwartet Leser verloren.
After the portals Thetimes.co.uk and Thesundaytimes.co.uk had 2.8 million unique visitors in May and 2.2 million in June, this figure fell to 1.6 million in July - a decline of over 40 percent in two months. This was reported by the online market researcher Comscore according to Sueddeutsche.de. The number of page views fell to new million in July (June: 20 million). Official figures for online subscribers are not yet available from the Times. British industry services reported 15,000 in mid-July.
