Nothing's final, but the current thinking is that it will support publications with metered paywalls and freemium models, said a source familiar with the briefings. These options would seem to accommodate metered publications including Facebook skeptic The New York Times; and The Wall Street Journal and The Economist, which make a certain selection of articles free and put the rest behind a paywall.

Despite his last name, Isaac Showman isn't a fan of big, dramatic website unveilings.
That's why, if you visit Reuters.com, you might not notice anything out of the ordinary — until you visit an article page.
