Summary
- CNN is implementing a paywall on its website, requiring U.S. users to pay $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year for access
- The move is driven by declining revenues from traditional pay-TV subscriptions and cord-cutting trends
- Subscribers will receive exclusive content, original documentaries, curated journalism, and fewer digital ads
- The decision follows the failed launch of CNN+ in 2022 and aims to boost profit margins
