As the Post Tribune has done previously the Indianapolis Star is going to a 20 stories per 30 days access plan.

Full Access digital-only subscriptions are available for $12 a month, only 40 cents a day. Beginning Sept. 1, we will limit access to news and information content consumed through our website, smartphones and tablets. Nonsubscribers still will be able to read up to 20 stories per 30 days on IndyStar.com before needing to subscribe.

Sadly, this will be the future of newspaper content, as more people continue to get their news quicker and easier on the internet rather than the printed copy delivered to their door, or purchase from the local gas station rack. All newspapers are going this route, even if the practice has been happening for a few years now, but all the technology, especially with adding video to stories, makes the printed paper obsolete.
