Who cares, we got Breitbart etc.

[Obadiah]

If Murdoch does what he did to the Wall Street Journal and plans on charging for access, I’m going to short News Corp.

[Last Dakotan]

Like that is going to work....

[Drago]

Pay up!! Not!!!

Since FNC is part owned by a 9/11 “Truther” type....has used O’Reilly and Beck to marginalize the Birthers....gives airtime to Jerry Rivers....worked a “truce” between Olbermann and O’Reilly.....should we be surprised that Focks News is moving more and more NY Times leftist....charging for website content?

Of course, this would be huge for WND, Breitbart, and other non-MSM news sites.

FNC and Fox continues its left-ward drift.

We're currently getting these online news products for free, or very cheap. A model where they actually, you know, make money was inevitable.

[Ron H.]

Not a bad idea but it won’t get off the ground. There are just too many alternative news sites to get ones news. The only way that charging would work is you have something no one else has and the farther left FOX keeps leaning they start to look and feel just like the rest of leftist mob rules non-News sites so why bother.

"Quality journalism is not cheap"

[angkor]

People **might** (possibly, maybe) pay for a consortium of news sites and viewpoints that are not owned by a single entity like News Corp.

And by “consortium” I mean a package of 50 or 100 or 150 sites (blogs, publications, infozines, video, etc) that offer quality product, quality reporting, quality writing.

You pay one price for a package of cable TV or sat radio offerings, and it should (could?) be no different for “print” media.

Paper distribution has its virtues but those are fast diminishing with the likes of Amazon Kindle. My family TV viewing is probably 75 percent streaming Netflix, and I am increasingly annoyed at having to handle those shiny Netflix disks (aka DVDs) anymore.

[mysterio]

Lol, he thinks people are going to pay for Fox News online?

That's funny right there.

I can read plenty of "when celebrities attack" on other yellow journalism blogs.

[catnipman]

Only a moron pays for the WSJ site. All you have to do is access any article from Google and you get the whole article for free. There’s even an addon for Firefox that lets you simulate where you are coming from, and you set it to Google, and then you’re in like Flynn.

The problem for dead-tree publishers (DTPs) is that they can either have a pay site, or an ad-supported site, but not both. Furthermore, either way, the possible online revenues are orders of magnitude below what the DTPs are currently obtaining from both their DT subscribers and advertisers.

Basically, they’re f**ked no matter what they do. And about time too!

[FastCoyote]

Good luck with that business model, Rupert. I’ve been trying for years to get people to pay for things I’ve written that are on the Internet, with didly squat to show for it. I suspect the big boys are getting pinched just as hard.

[Tatze]

The FoxNews.com layout sucks, so I don’t read them anyway. No big deal to me.

[Uncle Hal]

DOA

[khnyny]

Fox News website sucks.

Good luck with that one.

[catfish1957]

Strategic blunder........ The superior ratings and money for Fox will dry up like Hilary’s face.

[pvoce]

Why should anyone pay twice for the same content? If anyone has FNC on cable/satellite, why should anyone pay again for the same content just because they’re at work/out of town?
