The Paywall Trend

With an increasing number of Americans seeking their information online, the newspaper industry has taken a direct hit to its number of subscribers.  In an attempt to garner additional revenue sources, many U.S. newspapers have implemented paywalls; a service that prevents readers from accessing specific content on a webpage without paying.  The success has been varied with some, like Gannett, seeing a definite increase in income while others have seen a steady decline in their web traffic.  Check out the infographic below presented by Best Colleges Online to learn more about how paywalls are on the rise.
