The Times and The Sunday Times had 79,000 monthly digital subscribers at the end of February – up 29,000 over the previous five months.<\/p>\n

The figures, released by the publications’ owner News International, are closely watched to see if the ‘paywall’ model is making progress.<\/p>\n

There were 228,000 joint print\/digital and digital-only subscribers to The Times and Sunday Times.<\/p>\n

Chief executive Rebekah Brooks said she was “delighted” with the figures.<\/p>\n

The company said the total number of people paying to read The Times – print or digital – had increased by 3%.<\/p>\n

This reflects the rise in digital subscribers, as circulation of the printed Times has fallen sharply over the past year.<\/p>\n

News Corp charges \u00a32 a week for access to The Times and Sunday Times websites.<\/p>\n

The Times and The Sunday Times lost more than 90% of their online readers when they started charging.<\/p>\n

On Monday, The New York Times launched a pay model for digital access. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
