NYTimes Expands Free Article Limit to Go Beyond Google
The New York Times' hotly-debated paywall scheme has been tweaked slightly to allow readers to access free articles via “all major search engines” instead of just through Google, reports TechCrunch, citing the paper's communication manager.
Kristin Mason told the tech website the five article limit exacted on readers who come across Times articles from Google searches will be expanded to results from other search engines, although specific names were not given.
“After reviewing our options, we decided to extend the policy of five free clicks per day to all major search engines by the global launch on 28 March,” Mason told TechCrunch.
