Local Dailies Can Charge for Online Content, But They Bring in Pennies
ADOTAS – The newspaper industry has been suffering a long and painful decline, but the 1,390 U.S. local dailies hanging in there are dabbling in charging for online content.

Rupert Murdoch leads the light brigade against free content
ADOTAS — Just as that legendary charge proved disastrous, the News baron will find himself mowed down by fee-averse Internet users. But he’ll keep on trying.
