Since when is CNN paywalled?!?

Recently. There's been a few articles in the newspaper lately about CNN having a new guy in charge.

From memory: he wants to follow the New York Times/Washington Post model of news delivery -- which as much as people on HN hate -- seems to be working, financially speaking.

To that end, he's putting CNN news behind a paywall, firing 200 TV journalists, and hiring 200 digital people.

He's also pushing for more of CNN's video to be shot vertically.
