Chris Anderson, the Wired editor-in-chief and author of 'Free', has had it with newspapers. No

i believe it's actually stupid to ask for money when talking about news when competition just waits for you to do that.

He argues 'Free' is more than propaganda for the West Coast software firms and venture capitalists, who have made their money and hope to make more out of being free although to be fair some have made it by charging you $2000 for a shiny laptop with a picture of a piece of fruit on it.

So, he's telling me that content should be free in a hardback book that I have to pay for? Genius.

I saw him speak last night, and he argued that newspapers should give away the most popular content (ie: the headlines, scoops etc)and only charge for the more niche drilled down info as it solicited much keener interest and therefore a willingness to pay. So he doesn't disagree with paying subs, just that some things should be free to get you hooked.

But in some cases the subs thing is working. The FT is a case in point. it does charge online. As does the WSJ. And it was an interesting story today about Murdoch's hintng at charging for mobile reader: http://bit.ly/xbIyW

<a href="whutever.net/.../are-we-really-going-to-pay-for-news-are-you-sure.html">Here's my opinion</a> on payed content. And I link this to you because I believe the guys from The New Yorker and FT took it really personal. It's not the free products they talk about, it's their jobs.

I believe it's actually stupid to ask for money when talking about news when competition just waits for you to do that.

I have lots of arguments why this newspaper online subscription thing won't work. Maybe those to guys from NY-er and FT are right about the software producers, though I wouldn't be that sure - look around and see how many companies survive with free products and/or services -, but they shouldn't talk about media. Whatever expertise they might have, they're just wrong.
