Re: Pay for the news online?
Oh dear, i buy a copy of The Sun each weekday but read it online on a saturday and News Of The World on a sunday , simply down to convenience but i certainly won`t be prepared to pay for the it, i`d rather go out and buy a physical paper.................

I doubt it would work, I mean who would pay to see news online, not many IMO.

Re: Pay for the news online?
Depends how much too I suppose Mr D, but can understand Murdoch looking of a new way to generate money from it .. can't run as a loss forever. Look at ITV .. lost 105 million in the past year due to the drop of advertising !

Re: Pay for the news online?
object n personally will stop buying any paper that does it, if all do i will just get tv news n radio, stuff em.
if everyone had the sense to do that they wouldn't, but like the poll tax i doubt that.
