News International is reported to be planning to put the website of the News of The World behind a paywall from October.

According to New Media Age (full version here via Mad.co.uk), the UK newspaper publishing wing of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation will follow up this move by also placing the website of The Sun behind the paywall later in the year.

Paid-for access to the News of The World website will ‘hinge on exclusive video content, distributed across an overhauled site and app”, the report states.
