NY Times to Toll Gate Access after 20th Article

Beginning in a few weeks, The New York Times is no longer going to allow visitors to its website to see more than 20 articles for free. Here’s the gist of the change, as reported in the Times today:

Beginning March 28, visitors to NYTimes.com will be able to read 20 articles a month without paying, a limit that company executives said was intended to draw in subscription revenue from the most loyal readers while not driving away the casual visitors who make up the vast majority of the site’s traffic.
Once readers click on their 21st article, they will have the option of buying one of three digital news packages — $15 for a month of access to the Web site and a mobile phone app; $20 for Web access and an iPad app; and $35 for an all-access plan.
