The new “Lrytas Premium” subscription offers a range of benefits, including over 300 articles per month, author’s comments, and access to the archive of the daily “Lietuvos rytas” [[2]]. This move is reminiscent of other Lithuanian portals that have already started charging for part of their content.

To put this into perspective, let’s take a look at the pricing models of other popular portals in Lithuania:
Morning: The first month costs 1 EUR, after the first month it’s 1.99 EUR, and after half a year, it’s 2.99 EUR. The annual subscription costs 17.99 EUR.

As a result, the portal was separated from the editorial office of the printed newspaper and now operates as a separate media outlet.
