Tribune's LA Times launches paywall disguised as "membership program"

You know, a “membership program,” like what you might enroll in at Costco: The cost of the Los Angeles Times’ paywall will translate to $1.99 for news consumers with a print subscription or $3.99 for readers without a print subscription, meaning digital-only access will cost around $16 for people who live outside of the LA Times’ print delivery footprint.

The LA Times will allow non-digital subscribers to read 15 articles within a 30-day period.
