And then there's Murdoch claiming that news media will get people to pay for online access...

I find it telling that- people dont register.   Maybe some of it is "news" is pretty much talking points of the govt.

They will when the vast majority of content providers do start to charge.

Or not,

for news can be acessed on line for free, which might augment the usual providers to rethink their policy when it is they see their profits via online news falling. I will not monetarily subscribe to a certain brand which is essentially what a newspaper name is, for I enjoy a broad perspective on events, not the bias popular outlets provide to feed their followers.

Yup, and I am an advertiser's nightmare, for I seem to have this uncanny ability to ignore ads when they appear. Sometimes I may wonder and comment on the artistry of an advertisement, but as to it's purpose to influence me, nope that does not work, never has.
