News Corporation chief Rupert Murdoch has flagged charging users to view its news websites as a money earner for the media empire.
But internet and media experts say the plan would not work unless there is an overhaul of News Corporation web sites.

User pays: Murdoch's online news plan - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Why would you even read News Limited papers for free, let alone paying for them?

Murdoch's a dickhead but I didn't think he was that much of a dickhead. Here's to laughing as his papers collapse one by one.

I think if there was an extremely good news resource online, then certain individuals would be inclined to pay for it (like those who subscribe to journals/specialist newspapers/even reuters and other news services) - it would have to be pretty incredible however

except other news services would be just as good and free

this is what advertising is for
