Los Angeles Times Introduces Pay Wall, Calls It 'New Membership Program'
http://j.mp/zolg4o (L.A. Times)
"The Los Angeles Times will begin charging readers for access to its
online news, joining a growing roster of major news organizations
looking for a way to offset declines in revenue. Starting March 5,
online readers will be asked to buy a digital subscription at an
initial rate of 99 cents for four weeks. Readers who do not subscribe
will be able to read 15 stories in a 30-day period for free. There
will be no digital access charge for subscribers of the printed
newspaper.
...
Times readers who access online news through a mobile phone, iPad or
other tablet app won't have to pay for now, although the company plans
to charge in the future, Thomson said."

And in the satirical non-news, Facebook announces revolutionary "we
share all your information with everybody all the time" policy, calls
it "New Privacy Program."
