CNN will introduce a “metered” paywall early next month for online readers, part of a broader plan by chairman/CEO Mark Thompson to restructure the news giant into profitability.
The plan was first reported Thursday by the New York Times. A CNN spokesperson declined to comment.
The metered paywall will require frequent users to pay for access after clicking on a set number of articles. The model is common among major news outlets, including the New York Times and the New Yorker.
CNN first hinted at the plan in July, when it said it would be launching a digital subscription service as a part of a restructuring that included the layoffs of some 100 staffers. Details were not disclosed, but sources who spoke with the Times indicated CNN will start with a low-cost option.

Yes charge for something people won’t watch for free. 😆
From now on you’re going to have to pay us for us to lie to you. Got it? No more free lies and disinformation for you!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🤣🤣
Not paying a dime, doubt many will
Darn,
Will I have to pay to NOT watch the thing
that I currently NOT watch for free?
Just Darn!
I guess they need the money for Stelter's buffet budget and Toobin's lube bill since they brought back both.
I’m just not sure how you can sell something you can’t give away.??
I can’t imagine the kind of gullible fool that would actually pay CNN for news. That’s almost as bad as NYT.
Why would you even consider it?
So, CNN will be paywalling.....nothing.
Excellent news!
Watching or reading CNN is like using used toilet paper in a Tijuana bathroom...
They will then find out that NOBODY goes to them for real NEWS, and those that do will NOT pay for it. So, die you sobs, just crawl away and shrivel up to zero.
Pay toilets at the airports?
