The Globe and Mail will roll out its digital subscription package on
Oct. 22, providing free online access to most print subscribers and
allowing casual readers access to 10 articles a month on its website.
The
newspaper announced plans in May to build a metered paywall system,
citing the need to boost revenue as the advertising market fluctuates.
The Globe’s plan provides unlimited access to both the paper’s
website and apps to anyone with a five- or six-day subscription to the
printed newspaper. Weekend-only subscribers will be asked to pay $4.99 a
month for unlimited access, while those without a subscription will be
charged $19.99 a month after a one-month, 99-cent trial.
Some components of The Globe’s site will continue to be free to everyone.
