Toronto Star ends mandatory registration

The Toronto Star has removed the mandatory registration feature from its internet site, becoming the latest newspaper site to do so. The Houston Chronicle also did so recently.

"We believe that in order to be competitive in the online news and information space, growth of both audience and page impressions will be the cornerstone of our success. Further, we believe that the key to that growth is through the removal of all barriers, including registration," said Michael Goldbloom, Publisher, Toronto Star. "Our online readers have told us that registration is an inconvenience. We listened to our readers, and we've removed mandatory registration from our site."

The Toronto Star has also launched a new blog, the WebMaking blog, to collect feedback about the site, its design and the newspaper's coverage from online readers.
