Irish Times launches free website
Posted by Alisa Zykova on June 30, 2008 at 12:47 PM
The Irish Times is one of the latest to launch a free website, after being subscription-only for around five years.
According to PaidContent.co.uk, the site itself will have richer content and will allow readers to interact more successfully with each other and with the newspaper staff.
The Irish Times is currently integrating its newsroom. "In a new world where trust and accuracy are often the casualties of speed," it will also seek to further co-ordinate print and online content.
"The move to a free Irish Times on the web follows in the recent footsteps of many leading newspaper titles in the world today, among them the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times," wrote the Times.
