Some newspapers have moved away from a fully paywall model to a "premium content" model that requires subscription for the content the paper generates itself. If it is story from the wire, well covered local common stories (police blotter) and maybe some older stories that are dated, no lock. If you want to see current ground reporting from the paper itself, then you need to pay.
It's an interesting model. Pay for some content, usually the content that is generated by the house newsroom. How many locked stories will likely vary depending on how busy the newsroom is. Personally, I think this is a better model than pay for everything/few articles a month because not everything on the website is generated by the paper. This way, you are only really paying for the content the paper generates....not wasting paid article views on the aggregate scrapings of another news website.
