The Sun newspaper to introduce online paywall...

UK readers of The Sun are to be charged for online access to the newspaper later this year.

Rupert Murdoch's News International, which owns the red top said it was implementing a paywall as the existing free online version was "untenable".

Chief executive, Mike Darcey, said it was threatening the tabloid's circulation and revenues.

The Sun follows the Telegraph which announced on Tuesday it would begin charging readers for online access.

It will allow online readers free access to 20 articles each month, following which they will be charged a monthly subscription fee. Full story...
