Irish Times To Drop Subscription Wall; Will Move News Site From Ireland.com

Irish Times, which went subscription for its online site Ireland.com in 2003, is now ready to scrap the charges. It is also moving its news-related content to a new website IrishTimes.com, instead of the current Ireland.com home, reports Post.IE. Ireland.com will function as a stand-alone ‘‘portal’’ site, with considerably more video content, according to the story…this transition will happen by Sept.  The site charges 79 Euros for a yearly subscription.

Recently the company said Ireland.com site had fewer than 10,000 subscribers and was struggling to break even.
