Times online to charge readers $36 year beginning in June

Beginning in June of this year we will no longer link to reports in the London Times (in the UK it is simply called “The Times.”


Why? The Times will begin charging for the privilege of looking at their web editions.

We have no quarrel with the decision to charge for their online content. It’s just that we can’t afford to pay thirty some dollars each to the dozens and dozens of newspaper websites we link to each year.

Rupert Murdoch is chairman and CEO of News Corp. owner of The Times.

News Corp. is the world's second-largest media conglomerate. Included in the holdings of News Corp. are Fox News, Wall Street Journal, and New York Post.

Can charging for Wall Street Journal, New York Post and Fox News online content be far behind?
