I would be incredibly interested to see how well The Times has gotten on since going behind a paywall. I can't imagine their figures are up somehow.
The Times
Founded in 1785, The Times remains the second biggest selling quality newspaper in the UK, behind The Daily Telegraph. It has had a presence online since March 1999, but since July 2010 has required readers that do not subscribe to its print edition to pay to access the website.

Initially, most assumed the paywall gamble would not pay off. Unlike publishers such as the FT and the WSJ, The Times produces general news that can be found almost anywhere on the web. And its rivals, the likes of the Guardian and The Daily Telegraph, appear to have no intention of cutting off access to their sites. Consequently, The Times Online lost almost 90% of its visitors in the months following the erection of the paywall, with monthly unique users dropping from 21m to around 2.7m. But digital subscriber numbers have steadily increased, with the firm now claiming to have more than 133,000 paying purely to access the site online and on mobile, not including those that get access via their print subscriptions.
Nevertheless, it would be hard to call the paywall a success. We can only assume that if the move was significantly boosting revenues News International would be doing all it could to get the news out. It isn’t. The paywall also hasn’t stemmed print losses, with overall subscribers continuing to fall month over month. As for all newspaper publishers, the future for The Times remains precarious and the firm will need to look to new platforms and new revenue streams if it wants to ensure it remains relevant in an increasingly digital world.
Reasonable charge of £1.99 per month for website access after the 20 free articles.
But as others have said, still the Guardian, and Independent to view freely.
