Mashable! - New York Times Offers Substantial Subscription Discount Ahea

To ease readers into The New York Times online paywall, which goes live worldwide Monday at 2:00 p.m., the publication is offering a heavily discounted digital subscription rate of $0.99 for the first four weeks.

After that period, readers who wish to continue reading more than 20 articles per month, and who want to have access to full Times content on their mobile and/or tablet devices, must then choose between three different plans at NYTimes.com/access:

  • $15 for four weeks of access to NYTimes.com and a mobile phone app.
  • $20 for four weeks of access to NYTimes.com and its iPad app.
  • $35 for four weeks of access to all of the above.

Print subscribers to the Times and the International Herald Tribune will continue to have access to all of the Times's digital offerings at no additional charge.

Those who decline to subscribe wil l still be able to read all NYTimes.com front page content and up to 20 additional NYTimes.com articles per month, as well as the "Top News" sections of the Times's smartphone and tablet applications, without paying. In addition, non-subscribers will have access to articles found through search (limited to five per day from major search engines), blogs and social networks like Facebook and Twitter, even if they have exceeded their 20-article reading limit. 

The paywall has been in place in Canada since it was first announced March 17.
