News of the World launches paid-for website

The News of the World today became the latest News International title to launch a paid-for website.

It follows The Times and Sunday Times in charging users for online content.

Access will cost £1 for 24 hours or £1.99 for a four-week subscription.

The company said the site, www.notw.co.uk, will include new features such as a "Quick Flick" reader, a revamped video player and a magazine section, www.fabulousmag.co.uk.

An iPad app will follow with a separate weekly charge of £1.19.

Editor Colin Myler said: "The News of the World is an unrivalled destination for scoops. The new website makes the most of this, giving digital customers the chance to read the week's biggest stories first, along with exclusive video footage and pictures that won't be available anywhere else."
