The dominoes keeping falling - now it’s the turn of leading French publications Le Figaro and L’Express, which are both gearing up to restrict content to paying subscribers, according to a report from Le Monde.

Most revealing - in the case of L’Express, the paywall is being delayed not by questions over whether readers would pay, but whether the paywall can come in at a reasonable cost. In the case of L’Express, online director Corinne Denis says that the model they are currently looking at would cost more to implement than subscriptions could bring in.
