The *Financial Times* dropped its paywall over the Brexit weekend, deeming it important enough to give full access to its journalism. The result? [A subscriptions surge](http://digiday.com/publishers/ft-drove-digital-subscriptions-sales-600-percent-brexit-weekend/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

> In fact, the FT saw a 600 percent surge in digital subscriptions sales over the weekend (compared to the average weekend) since the Brexit vote news broke, which equated to “thousands” of additional subscriptions sales.

*The Times* did the same. I wouldn’t be surprised if they saw similar results.
