USA TODAY launches subscriber model for premium journalism

Posted

Each month, about 90 million unique visitors come to USA TODAY's digital platforms for investigations that change laws and lives, smart sports analysis, expert science and health reporting, and entertainment and consumer news to help you make the most of your time and money.

In a column published July 7 in USA TODAY, Maribel Perez Wadsworth, publisher, and Nicole Carroll, editor-in-chief, explained that the paper is now asking readers to help support premium journalism. 

"Much of the content on USA TODAY will still be free," they wrote. "But you'll find a selection of stories each day marked 'subscriber only.' These will be exclusive investigations, sophisticated visual explainers, thought-provoking takes on the news and immersive storytelling."

Subscriptions start at $4.99 a month.
