The Chicago Tribune is mulling a plan to charge online readers premiums for different kinds of content, a structure similar to the fee it charges for the print literary magazine it introduced this year.


The city's largest newspaper is charting an unusual path as it aims to start charging online readers as early as July, although the details and timing are still in flux, according to sources. The Chicago Sun-Times started charging online readers in December. Crain's Chicago Business will introduce a metered subscription plan in June.
