Gannett will change all of its daily newspapers, including the Springfield News-Leader to a pay model this year, according to company officials.
“We will begin to restrict some access to non-subscribers,” said Bob Dickey, president of community publishing. The model is similar to the metered system adopted by The New York Times a year ago, in which online readers are able to view a limited number of pages for free each month. That quota will be between five and 15 articles, depending on the paper, said Dickey. Six Gannett papers already have a digital pay regimen in place.

I live far enough out that I don't have a regular subscription. That said, I've stopped reading their online content and I've also stopped buying their Sunday paper. They aren't a very good paper and they clearly attempt to frame the issues instead of informing.
