The revamped sites will be bolstered by premium content known as "news+", which includes FOX SPORTS News 24/7 live-streaming as well as access to match highlights and entertainment shows.
News Limited CEO Kim Williams said the refreshed sites would be faster, offer easier and more intuitive navigation, as well as have up to 20 per cent more homepage content.
"Our new digital subscription service for the Herald Sun and The Daily Telegraph with the exciting addition of news+ marks an important landmark for News Limited as we continue paving the way for commercially sustainable models for quality journalism and digital innovation in Australia," Mr Williams said.
AdelaideNow and the The Courier-Mail online would follow in June, Mr Williams said.
"The new masthead digital subscription services with news+ ensure subscribers will have access to their local masthead with enhanced local content as well as to our entire national news, lifestyle, business and sport network, delivered across all the devices they love. We are giving consumers the richest diversity of content from a source they trust, in a form convenient and relevant to contemporary lifestyles and technologies."
Under the new metered model, visitors to The Daily Telegraph website will be able to view five articles per week before being asked to register. Users who register will be able to read a further 15 stories a week.
Un-registered Herald Sun readers will also be able to view five articles per week. By registering, they will have access to an additional 10 articles a week.
For both mastheads, a full digital subscription will cost $1 for the first 28 days then $4 per week. A home-delivered Sunday newspaper can be added for 50c a week. A package including weekend papers will be $5.50 per week. Full digital subscription plus seven-day newspaper home delivery will cost $9 a week.
Mr Williams said metering details and subscription prices for AdelaideNow and The Courier-Mail would be announced closer to the launch of their enhanced sites.
"Today's announcement heralds a bright future for the longevity of content publishing across all platforms print, online, tablet and mobile," Mr Williams said.
"Delivering fine journalism across diverse content domains, in interesting environments, that facilitate debate, conversations and discussions among Australians is what News aims to provide in ways which are aligned with consumer wants and needs.
"The launch of these new digital subscription products for The Daily Telegraph and the Herald Sun with all that is contained in news+ will be central to our future in the Australian media landscape."

As part of a new order of the world, the global corporate giants have embarked on data collection of every individual.
The current industry heavyweights amongst others are Apple, Google, HP, IBM
New Limited has proved it cannot be trusted with data, under various 'scandals' in Europe, which also led to the closure of the tabloid News of the World.
Previously browsing online stories was done under the anonymous label, where the companies could not link website view to specific individuals.
Now the policy is to monitor and control literally everything what the masses do.
In this case the corporation, New Limited will know what article each reader has read.
Under this guise, reports can be given to government or police for them to do as they please.
Another act of invasion of privacy from the corporate elite, with total support from their 'brethren' in government.
