      Offtopic, but does Reuters have a paywall for viewers outside the US? I always forget to tag Reuters articles with the paywall tag because it’s never come up for me

        It's Canada only right now, but they're apparently planning on rolling it out worldwide eventually.

        Reuters News announced on Tuesday that it would roll out digital subscriptions starting this month, joining a crowded market of news organizations that charge for online content.

        The Thomson Reuters-owned (TRI.TO) news agency said visitors will have to pay $1 per week for access to its website, which has been available for free but requires users to register.

        The launch follows a three-year delay caused in part by a dispute between Reuters and financial data provider LSEG over whether the paywall would breach their news supply agreement. The pricing is lower than the $34.99 a month Reuters had initially planned to charge in 2021.

        The subscriptions will be available first in Canada, followed by parts of Europe and the U.S with plans to expand globally, the news agency said in a statement.
