AUSTRALIAN MURDOCH TABLOID TO CHARGE FOR INTERNET CONTENT.

By Michael, Member of the House of Byers.
Melbourne corporate newspaper, The Age, has reported that Murdoch tabloid, The Australian, is set to announce a charging schedule.
The $2.95 fee shall apply to website, tablet & mobile phone access, and applications, but, is a sliding fee that increases depending on what you are purchasing.
There is no word as to whether the scheme will be rolled out to other News Ltd tabloids such as the Herald-Sun & the Courier Mail, although it is claimed that the news ltd website will not be charging for access to its website.
Other newspaper around the world that charge for content such as The Financial Review, The Times of England, and The New York Times, do not appear to be faring well.
At any rate, it is a much better idea to consume and support independent news agencies such as The Mikiverse.
