A Fiji newspaper marking its 150th anniversary is preparing to go through a difficult period as it negotiates the challenge of transitioning from its traditional model to the digital age.

As part of the move, the Fiji Times introduced a paywall on its website this year.

The Editor-in-chief Fred Wesley told Koro Vaka'uta why the paywall was introduced and what he thought of the newspaper's future.
