RUPERT Murdoch's British tabloid The Sun will start charging for access to its website in a package with highlights of Premier League soccer matches, publisher News International (NI) said yesterday.
"Later this year the pay model will be applied to The Sun across every platform," said a spokesman for NI, the British newspaper arm of News Corp.
"We will be offering our valued Sun readers a bigger and better experience than they have ever had before - one that in addition to FA Premier League clips will offer a full and attractive subscription model across digital and print."
The Sun, the country's top-selling newspaper with a print circulation of 2.28 million in February according to ABC, is the only one of Murdoch's British titles to have content freely available online, although it does have a paid-for app.
The Times and The Sunday Times have been behind a paywall since 2010.
The Daily Telegraph, the country's top-selling daily broadsheet title, said on Tuesday it would start charging for its Internet edition using a metered model, which gives readers a numbers of articles for free.
