[no subs req]
From Monday the Irish Times will be freely available online at their new website http://www.irishtimes.com - current subscribers will be offered a refund for their remaining subscription. The editor Geraldine Kennedy cites, among others, the New York Times move noted here. Welcome to the conversation. The article announcing the move is, unfortunately, subs req.. Adds The announcement is now freely available online..
The changes announced today mark the start of an exciting programme of online development which, over the coming months, will see the http://www.irishtimes.com site enhanced with richer content in the form of pictures, graphics, audio and video. We will be developing content in areas of particular interest to our readers, which will allow them to interact better both with each other and with us on subjects of common interest.
Update Irish Times now ‘no subs req’.

If only we had similar broadsheet coverage in the north.
Posted by on Jun 28, 2008 @ 10:35 AMWell the Telly technically is a broadsheet. Problem is it has a tabloid mentality…
I heartily welcome the freeing up of the IT website. It was originally free but they introduced a subscription fee in about 2001-2002 when they had their serious money problems. Hopefully this means financially they are on a sound footing again. Letīs face it, for all its faults the IT is by far the best serious paper on the island of Ireland.Posted by on Jun 28, 2008 @ 05:23 PMThe Irish Times’ wall comes down early.
