Toronto Star to erect a paywall

It would appear that all of Canada's major newspapers will be behind paywalls by next year.

The Toronto Star announced yesterday that from 2013 it will charge for access to its online content in what its publisher calls "a significant transition for our newspaper and our popular website."

In an explanation to readers, John Cruickshank said the Star's move is aimed at providing a new source of revenue to add to print circulation and advertising revenues.

The Star's decision follows that of other big Canadian publishers, including those who run the Globe & Mail, the National Post and other titles in Ottawa and Vancouver.
