Canadian newspaper group to put up metered paywalls
Follow @mediaukprintFrom Media Guardian - posted
Canada's largest chain of metropolitan newspapers will put up paywalls at all of its 16 titles early in the new year, including the National Post.Postmedia Network announced the decision as it reported a $28m (£17.5m) third-quarter loss. The company blamed it on a chronically weak print advertising market, which it concedes is unlikely to return to its previous levels."Newspapers are realising you can't spend millions on content and give it away for free," said Postmedia chief executive Paul Godfrey.
