Economist is a natural for paid content

Welcome to planet FT or how you can charge for content like the pink'un

Financial Times editor Lionel Barber has been telling Channel 4 News why news organisations have to act now and charge for online content and how they can do it like the FT. Not sure about that one. Timing is everything and it's striking that the...

Free content – an accidental historical moment

He's not the first to say it, but Barry Diller described the moment when news organisations decided to give content away as one of those "accidental historical" moments. He was talking at the time about his support for paid content. An accidental...

Wait and see as WSJ leaps with micro payments

So the Wall Street Journal got it moving as it launches first with micro payments after Rupert Murdoch hinted heavily last week. It was the most obvious to go first, but what the industry really wants is for someone else to leap. People will shortly be...

Paid-for content – an impossible dream?

The PaidContent blog has a good piece today on why the idea of charging for content might be a flight of fancy and impossible to implement after years of free access. The post comes in a week that two media figures have been talking paid content and raising...

Groundswell around newspaper e-readers growing

I blogged last week asking whether there was a future for e-papers/e-readers and into my in-box pops an email from the Wall Street Journal announcing new e-reader plans. The Wall Street Journal Europe has launched an e-Paper service apparently: "the...
