PayWall crashes down as Wanko saves the day!

A message from The Ugly Truth creator Matthew Colledge

“Earlier today, I revealed to readers that due to the difficult environment in which all news media publishers are operating in, The Ugly Truth was to introduce a PayWall from July 1, to charge readers for access to our content.

The response since then has been overwhelming.

We have received nearly one whole email imploring us not to put up a PayWall, and to keep The Ugly Truth free for all.

Well, you have spoken and we have listened.

I am delighted to announce that after long and careful deliberation, we have decided we will no longer be introducing a PayWall.

The decision has partly been aided by the signing today of a four-year contract with our new corporate sponsors, Asian fashion chain Wanko.

Sun Jin Cho, chief executive of Wanko, said: “We are delighted to enter a new period of partnership and prosperity with The Ugly Truth.

“It is a website which shares our core values: truth, justice and fetching leggings at affordable prices.”

On behalf of The Ugly Truth, I would like to thank Mr Cho and Wanko for their support, which has helped to ensure that our content will remain free for all.

Hip Hip, Wanko!"
