It is usually a common practice that journal websites offer readers their free online editions of articles and other information. However, America’s most popular newspaper website announced that the era of free online journalism is drawing to a close. The New York Times has become the biggest publisher yet to set out plans for a pay wall around its digital offering,abandoning the accepted practice that Internet users will not pay for news.
Struggling with a decline of advertising and a downward tendency in street corner sales, The New York Times intends to introduce a “metered” model at the beginning of 2011. Readers will be required to pay when they have exceeded (超过) a set number of its online articles per month.
The decision puts the 159-year-old newspaper on the charging side of an increasingly wide chasm (鸿沟) in the media industry. But others, including the Guardian, have said they will not charge Internet readers.
The New York Time’s publisher, Arthur Sulzberger, acknowledged that the idea was a gamble. Boasting a print circulation of 995,000 on weekdays and 1.4 million on Sundays, The New York Times is the third bestselling American newspaper, behind the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. While most US papers focus on a single city, The New York Times is among the few that can claim national scope—as well as 16 bureaus (办事处) in the New York area, it has 11 offices around the US and maintains 26 bureaus elsewhere in the world.
But like many in the publishing industry,the paper is in the grip of a serious financial crisis.Its parent company,the New York Times Company, has 15 papers, but suffered a loss of $70 million in the nine months to September and recently accepted
a $250 million loan from a Mexican billionaire, Carlos Slim, to strengthen its balance sheet.

追答你这个是作业?
受到广告收入的减少以及线下报纸销量降低这两个问题的困扰,纽约时报打算在2011年初引进名为“计量”的营销模式。读者每月只能免费阅读一定数量的文章,如果阅读的文章数超过了这个限度,那么超过部分便要付费。
传媒产业对收费的问题向来说法不一。而纽约时报的这个决议无疑表明了他们的态度。然而,英国卫报还是坚持不向线上读者收费。纽约时报的发行人苏兹伯格承认,这个决议就是一场赌博。号称工作日发行量995万,周末发行量140万的纽约时报,是继《华尔街日报》和《今日美国》之后美国第三畅销的报纸。大多数美报纸的内容都局限于城市,而纽约时报是为数不多的拥有全球视角的报纸。仅在纽约地区,时报就有16处办事处。在全美,时报拥有11处工作室。在世界上的其他地区,时报拥有26处分部。
但如同其他许多出版业同行,财政危机对时报影响很大。它的总部纽约时报公司,旗下拥有15家报纸。但在截止9月份的九个月里,已经损失了7000万美元。近期,纽约时报接受了来自墨西哥亿万富翁拉洛斯.斯利姆的2.5亿的贷款,以加强对财政盈亏平衡的控制。本回答被提问者采纳
