The Suburbanite, a weekly published in the city of Green in SummitCouunty, will begin charging to view some content on its website, theSuburbanite.com.
The move reflects the growth of the newspaper’s digital offerings over the years.
The Suburbanite is owned by Fairport, N.Y.-based GateHouse Media Inc. The publication is one of the first owned by the company to adopt a subscription model for its website.
Visitors to theSuburbanite.com will get unlimited access to the website’s homepage, breaking news, obituaries, weather, and multimedia offerings, including photo galleries.
Other articles on the website, including those in the news, region, sports and lifestyle sections, will fall into a premium category.
After reading 20 premium articles, readers will be asked to pay a monthly subscription to gain unlimited access for the site.
Occasional visitors to the website probably won’t know the subscription system exists. Heavier users who visit the website several times a day and want premium content will find themselves having to pay for full access.
To get full access to theSuburbanite.com, readers will be asked to pay $2.95 per month or $29.95 for an entire year. The annual subscription offers a discount worth two months of service.
