Is Murdoch really plannng a Google free future?

Decision time in paid content (stuff starts happening)

This week is officially deemed paid content week (again), but yesterday unlike most weeks things happened. The New York Times said it was struggling to decide; Emap came out and (boldly) said it's charging £150; and a VC guy said newspapers need less...

Economist is a natural for paid content

On hearing the news this morning that The Economist is to charge for news content across its site I was wondering why they waited so long. The Economist is a natural for paid content in the same way that the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times...

Paid content and closing TheLondonPaper

No one thing killed TheLondonPaper, but one of my first thoughts on hearing the sad news that TheLondonPaper was to close was is this part of Rupert Murdoch's paid content strategy? The facts are pretty simple: London is the most competitive newspaper...

You've been blogged: money for nothing and content for free

Critics take a swipe at Chris Anderson's new book
