Murdoch’s Sun newspaper goes behind paywall
Britain’s top-selling newspaper The Sun, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, on Thursday began charging readers for access to its website.
Known for its celebrity scoops and topless “page three” models, the tabloid will charge subscribers £2 ($3, 2.30 euros) for a week’s access to its website, which will be called Sun+.
Murdoch’s British newspaper publisher announced the paywall in March, saying free access to The Sun’s online content had become “untenable”.
“Asking readers to pay for content is the only way to protect the future of the newspaper industry,” said the Sun’s new editor David Dinsmore.
“This is a landmark event for The Sun and a testament to the pioneering attitude of Britain’s best-selling newspaper.”
A slew of the world’s top newspapers have started charging for online content in recent years, including The New York Times and the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal
