I have learned yet another term: Paywall.
Per the Pew report, while most newspapers were profitable only by making cuts, many followed the NYT and instituted a pay wall. There is a hard and a soft paywall. As newspapers move online we are likely to see more of this action. One report states that 20% of newspapers now have online paywalls.
Below are a few interesting paywall articles.
The "Hamster Wheel" fallacy: Why Paywalls don't mean better journalism
Why the Washington Post will never have a paywall
