Paywall for TalkCarswell.com

TalkCarswell.com this morning announces that it is to go behind a paywall. This news comes after the recent decision by the Telegraph blog site to follow the Financial Times, and others, and adopt a pay-to-read approach.

The TalkCarswell paywall model will allow readers to read one post a day for free, after which they will need to subscribe. In a special April Fool's Day offer, regular readers will be able to enjoy a month's subscription for Euro 148.57 a month (offer not available to readers in Cyprus).

TalkCarswell.com's Douglas Carswell said "This is a great way of testing my readers' commitment to the blog."

He added "This is also a way of dealing with press regulation. Hopefully my paywall will mean that Hacked Off, Oliver Letwin and all those others behind the Royal Charter won't notice bloggers like me. They can go try and regulate twitter and stuff instead".

"Have a great April Fools' Day", he added.
