The most-visited news website in the United States is trying out a paywall.

In early October, CNN will begin experimenting with charging some readers for digital access as part of a bid to shore up its business as cable television erodes industrywide, according to two people with knowledge of the decision.

The company is planning a so-called metered model, which will require the site’s habitual users to pay after reading a certain number of articles, the people said.

@disk4mat I've thought for the longest time, Murdoch & Fox are far smarter than CNN/MSNBC et al. You can get access to Faux News pretty much anywhere and for free. You're going to hit far more people with that free-access business model than actual news on a paid one. πŸ™„

It definitely skews the public discourse that more right wing and right-leaning news sources are free than left-leaning ones.

@disk4mat

Lol not going to bring viewers back who are already looking at something else.

They purged so many people with the πŸ‘-lite theme.

Hurricane coverage is excellent though πŸ‘€πŸŒ€

I check cnn for headlines in the am before I get started on what to watch and where.

Keep hoping one day it will say HE died.

@disk4mat

He has earned my disgust, horror and hatred. From the elevator ride to today... no other voice makes me shiver. It's evil.

@JulesofJoy

So many years of stress because of him and low knowledge voters. I have lost too many hours of sleep over him. Hopefully we can all move on soon.
