Mursoch's Gamble: We'll Charge For All Our Sites

Oracle Goddess writes: "In what appears to be a carefully planned suicide, Rupert Murdoch announced that his media giant News Corporation Ltd intends to charge for all its news websites in a bid to lift revenues, as the transition towards online media permanently changes the advertising landscape. "The digital revolution has opened many new and inexpensive methods of distribution, but it has not made content free. Accordingly we intend to charge for all our news websites," Murdoch said. Is this the last desperate move of a media mogul who is desperately out of touch with reality?"
