Paywall in UK News Titles


Uk News tiles which use the paywall in an attempt to protect revenue and profits within the companies.

Paywall- in the mid 2010s media has enabled a use of paid subscription to use their service in an attempt to increase revenue profits due to a decline in print readership.  


Telegraph

Due to a decline in paid print readership and revenue profits the Telegraph have implemented a paywall in a attempt to incenses revenue to secure a sustainable future for the business. Free digital media has impacted companies as passive consumers no longer need to pay for the news. This has led to a global newspaper like Telegraph to develop a paywall of £2 a week or instead £100 for a year membership. 

The guardian

The guardian doesn't have a paywall to restrict users so provide a free service. The Guardian "want to keep their journalism as open as possible" however users can support the organisation donating for just £5 a month or at the minimal £1 a month. Contribution funds help support the Guardian journalism however donations are entirely voluntarily.    

The Times 

The times does have a paywall. Giving users multiple options for £1 a week for 8 weeks however prior prices increase to £6 a week. Users can also subscribe for £2 a week for both print and digital access or £6 a week for 12 months with a curtsy of a free expresso machine.  

The sun

The sun has removed their paywall from the system as new manager implements a new sceme for free access.
