"In a move that is sure to simultaneously delight journalists and crush readers, The New York Times has made the decision to charge for online subscriptions, putting an end to willy-nilly gratis news browsing on their site. The change starts today in Canada, and will roll out globally on March 28th (though a hint was at the end of Bill Keller&amp;#039;s March 10th article). Home delivery subscribers will get free access to web content, as will subscribers to the International Herald Tribune. Subscribers to both will get free extra lining for their birdcages. Those who don&amp;#039;t receive the paper at home will be able to read 20 articles per month for free, and then will be asked to fork it over. The pricing plans start at $15 per month. There are a few other interesting details\u2013\u2013like the fact that readers can access articles via social networks even if they&amp;#039;ve already reached their monthly limit\u2013\u2013which you can check out here. Casual users of the site won&amp;#039;t be affected much\u2013\u2013nor will casual fans of the paper, who will likely head to other news outlets to get their fix. I&amp;#039;m all for it. (Maybe because I&amp;#039;m a Weekender subscriber\u2026come to think of it, I wonder if we get full access?) Journalists work hard at their jobs\u2013\u2013heck, four New York Times journalists are missing in Libya right now\u2013\u2013and their writing and reporting shouldn&amp;#039;t go for free. But after a quick web search, it seems like a lot of people are mad\u2013\u2013and ready to move on from NYTimes.com. What do you think? Is the monthly fee too steep?
