New York Times Announces Digital Subscription Plan [NYTimes]

The New York Times introduced a plan on Thursday to begin charging the
most frequent users of its Web site $15 for a four-week subscription
in a bet that readers will pay for news they are accustomed to getting
free. Beginning March 28, visitors to NYTimes.com will be able to read
20 articles a month without paying, a limit that company executives
said was intended to draw in subscription revenue from the most loyal
readers while not driving away the casual visitors who make up the
vast majority of the site’s traffic.
