In fall 2017, the paper introduced a digital pay meter on its website.
The Daily News spent months researching how to implement the meter, and working out how to best communicate the change to readers.

The Daily News had previously used NPS, but it began using the survey methodology again in earnest early last year.
It sent out email surveys to its subscribers, and it segmented the audience based on print-only subscribers, digital-only subscribers, print plus digital subscribers, and readers who have registered with an email address.
