    Murdoch to charge for the Sun online

    "Quality journalism is not cheap, and an industry that gives away its content is simply cannibalising its ability to produce good reporting," he said.

    indeed.

    And there's a marketer's dream. I bet they'll want online payment using your plastic - Hey Presto, lots of marketing info about their readership.

      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          In order to stop readers from moving to the huge number of free news websites, Mr Murdoch said News Corp would simply make its content "better and differentiate it from other people".

          What, like “Fox News better”?

            Maybe he copied the business plan from Friend Reunited?

                  I was actually an avid reader of the Sun website went it first started. No, not for that reason (there were/are better sites for that ), but because of Dear Deidre. Reading the made-up stories of chavs was definitely the highlight of my day. I still wouldn't pay for reading it if they bought her back tho'.
