Globe and Mail launches paywall
The Globe and Mail paywall for digital content launches on Monday, but how will it change how you read your news?
Non-subscribers have an allotment of 10 free stories a month, but will have to pay if they want to read more than that. “Globe Unlimited,” the paywall service, will cost 99 cents for the first month of use, and $19.99 a month thereafter. Existing five or six days-a-week subscribers will have unlimited access to the site, but will still need to register online for free.
Partly inspired by The New York Times‘ paywall, this new structure pays for digital journalism. Links accessed through social media, or landing pages, will not count towards the free monthly total.
Relax. It will all make sense soon. For more information, check out the “Globe Unlimited” FAQ here. Do not worry, it will not count towards your 10 free stories.
Pippa on her famous bottom
Scene-stealer Pippa Middleton has finally written about her famous bottom, calling the attention “strange.”
In her first book, Celebrate: A Year of British Festivities for Families and Friends, Middleton writes about party planning, but gets cheeky about her derriere, which made its prominent debut at the 2011 Royal Wedding.
“It’s a bit startling to achieve global recognition (if that’s the right word) before the age of thirty, on account of your sister, your brother-in-law and your bottom,” writes Middleton. “One day I might be able to make sense of this. In the meantime I think it’s fair to say that it has its upside and its downside.”
Indeed. The Duchess of Cambridge’s sister’s book will be available on Oct. 25, or Oct. 30, depending on the market. It sounds like a splendid read, well worthy of its rumoured £400,000 advance.
