Murdoch to launch UK web paywall in June

Rupert Murdoch's closely watched experiment in charging for online news will begin in June, when The Times and the Sunday Times erect their paywalls. Readers will be charged £1 for a day's access ­ the same price as the weekday newspaper ­ or £2 for a week's subscription to two new sites. Print subscribers will be able to read the sites, which replace the existing Times Online, for free.
