what do you have to pay for on the times website?
you do have to pay for a subscription to more stories, which is not surprising as the paper is a conservative paper and targets mostly middle class and upper middle class people which typically have better jobs such as office jobs and working as doctors or possibly even in governments, and therefore they have more money to spend on things such as subscriptions which working class people wouldn’t want to spend their money on- This is a successful scheme as it means more money is being put into the company, which might make it’s audience also predominantly upper class.- the times website also advertises it’s own subscription
