Philadelphia Media Network, parent company of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com, announced a series of new digital initiatives at its media properties, chief among them the implementation of a paywall.
Content on portal Philly.com will continue to be offered free-of-charge, but in order for readers to access a “newspaper format experience” for the Inquirer and Daily News, subscriptions will be required. The content will be available on a free trial basis through Feb. 13, and the subscription fees have not yet been revealed.
In addition, the A3 page in the Inquirer will now include what the company described as “best of breed” blogs on the featured theme, to go along with the newspaper’s print content. And the Business section will be further integrated with Philly.com.
