The New York Times will start charging readers for online access “very shortly,” Chairman and Publisher Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr. said in London today.

The daily will introduce a “metered” model based on one used by the Financial Times newspaper that allows readers to view some articles for free each month, he said at the FT Digital Media & Broadcasting conference. He declined to elaborate on when the model would be introduced.
