The Times and Sunday Times newspapers will start charging to access their websites in June, owner News International (NI) has announced.
Users will pay £1 for a day's access and £2 for a week's subscription.
The move opens a new front in the battle for readership and will be watched closely by the industry.
NI chief executive Rebekah Brooks said it was "a crucial step towards making the business of news an economically exciting proposition".
And she hinted that two other News International publications, The Sun and the News of the World, would also go behind a paywall.
"This is just the start. The Times and The Sunday Times are the first of our four titles in the UK to move to this new approach. We will continue to develop our digital products and to invest and innovate for our customers."

First, they had a paper newspaper that cost money to buy and an online one that was free.
...Now the online version will cost- Will they make the paper one available for free...?
if they got rid of advertisement on the website, i would be willing to love with it.
Now people will be even more ill-informed!
I didn't think that was possible...
One pound seem awfully expensive for one day's newspaper. Over here, a daily paper is $.25.
