MediaNews Group is launching a pay wall for some content on the websites of 23 of its smaller newspapers in several states, including Vermont.
Home pages, classified ads, obituaries and announcements will be free, and readers would have access to five pages of editorial content per month for free before they would be asked to sign up for a digital subscription.
In Vermont, both the Bennington Banner and Brattleboro Reformer will go behind a pay wall. The digital subscription model doesn’t cover the company’s larger newspapers like The Denver Post, The Salt Lake Tribune or The Detroit News.
