The New York Times is one of the papers trying to balance the need to generate income with not angering readers who are now accustomed to free content on the Internet. It has a hybrid paywall model in which a user can read up to ten articles a month for free online, after which he or she has to buy a subscription. By the middle of 2014, the Times had about 830,000 online subscribers.
