Rupert Murdoch’s News International have announced that from June anyone wishing to view the Times or the Sunday Times online will have to pay £1 per day or £2 per week.
It’s a brave move and only time will tell if it is a successful one. You can read almost any newspaper online in Britain and other parts of the world, and I do wonder if those now reading the Times online will merely switch to another newspaper.
I suppose the charges are not onerous, and anyone having a subscription to the printed versions of the newspapers, will have an automatic pass to read them online. On the other hand, if you have the printed versions, why would you want to read them online?
I scan half a dozen newspapers each day via the internet. It seems that from June, there will be one less to read.
