		<h5 class="entry-date">
			August 25, 2017		</h5>

		<div class="entry-content">

			<p>The Times has lifted its paywall for stories about Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath. Readers now have unlimited access to storm-related coverage (other sections of The Times will operate as usual).</p>
<p>Please note that articles about Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath will still be counted by the meter (those who have read their free monthly allotment can still continue to read all hurricane coverage). Read more about how The Times&#8217;s meter works <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/28/insider/paywall-hurricane-harvey.html">here</a>.</p>
