The New York Times is expanding its digital reach with the launch of an online, Portuguese-language edition in 2013, the newspaper announced Sunday.
The forthcoming edition will target readers in Brazil, and include both translated stories and original work produced by local writers, the Times said in a statement. Readers can expect between 30 to 40 articles per day on global affairs, business and culture. The Times is also investing in original photography; graphics and multimedia will come later.
This is the second international edition the Times has announced this year. An online, Chinese-language edition launched in beta at cn.nytimes.com in late June, and is expected to debut officially next month.
Unlike the U.S. edition, which introduced a metered paywall plan in March 2011, readers of the Chinese and Portuguese editions do not need a digital subscription for full web access, a Times spokesperson told Mashable.
