charge

MediaNews Group, owner of the Denver Post and 53 other daily newspapers plans to start charging for online access to all its newspaper content on its websites. MediaNews CEO William Dean Singleton wrote a memo to employees saying, "We cannot continue to give all our content away for free."

News Corp. chief executive Rupert Murdoch said on Thursday that newspapers must find a way to charge for online content to make up for declining ad revenue. "People are used to reading everything on the net for free, and that's going to have to change," Murdoch told attendees at the annual Cable Show event in Washington, D.C. Murdoch cited The New York Times as an example, saying it has a "very, very good Web site." He said he did not believe the paper would make any money online unless it changes its current business model.

All the fears being sparked over Google's dominance in search, along with its land-grab of DoubleClick's data mined consumer information, are really just an illusion.
