Financial Times editor says most news websites will charge within a year

And soon after, they will be offering their content free, and firing the
idiot(s) who lost all of their readers.

I will NEVER pay for such a thing. It may be the 1st time in 23 years I will consider buying a TV and getting cable!!!! Ridiculous journalism is never worth a penny.

All the printed newspaoers just popped a boner

The white middle aged "management" who run these organizations are complete, utter morons.

I guess when your ass is on the line and you have to justify that college education, you think up stupd stuff like this.

Geez...buffoons

i wonder in what synagogue the owners of these news organizations dreamed this hustle up...they must of said to each other:..."they pay $5 dollars for a cup of coffee, maybe they'll subscribe to online news too..."

This will last for a few months before it collapses. Most of the news is crap anyway.

I hope they are not as biased and one sided as the liberals are.

A new idea: How 'bout a no spin zone.

So, I will have to pay to know when the meteor is going to wipe out life on earth? ;-)

The only news organizations that will be able to successfully charge for an online subscription are the same organizations that have successful print operations. Organizations that have lost their news integrity such as the New Your Times, Boston Globe, LA Times, etc. will just lose their online viewership and resulting add revenue. Liberal editorials front to back will never be profitable. Biased news presentations are a losing business model.

Yeah?Well, let's see who will consider themselves idiots, and do just that.hmmm...

That's working sooooo well with the printed media...

I won't miss them a bit since I don't read their stuff anyway. So make the Good By quickly.

Maybe this "news for sale online" will cause some of us to realize that walking to the store for a paper or magazine, which is such a simple task, is far more real and enjoyable than any click of a mouse or press of button.
"Keeping it simple, enjoying it more."

They can charge whatever they like, it doesn't mean that "free" sites won't still be available. Gone are the days that a reporter gets a story, runs it by his editor, then types it up, then releases to the public, the reporters cannot keep up with the speed of the internet; therefore whoever can get the story up first, and to the most readers, in the cheapest fashion, and told with respect of the truth, is what readers will be looking for to choose to read, at their leisure. Newspapers who invest in "biased" reporters will be the first to go; truth in journalism is the only survivor.

Corporations only purpose and goal is to squeeze the last penny out of the sheeple. The sheeple's only purpose and job is to pay it.

So, when in doubt: on your knees, lower your pants, assume the position, get set and...
