Pay Dike Being Rebuilt
November 10, 2009
I am not sure if this blog post by Jennifer Lush is 100 percent accurate. I found it suggestive. Judge for yourself. Navigate to EditorsWebLog.org and read “Murdoch Postpones Date for Introducing Paywalls.” In my experience, it is possible to generate revenue from content. Mr. Murdoch wants to charge for content and he has pointed out that some companies are ripping him off because he is not being paid for links, headlines, snippets, whatever. The delay, if real, may point to one or more reasons. What’s clear is that sweeping generalizations are easy to make; delivering is a bit more difficult in my opinion. Technology and cost issues are two challenges which come to my mind.

To the Government Printing Office. I wish to report that this write up is free. I even recall the halcyon days when most of the US government’s information was available without a charge. Hmmm. Should this be disclosed?
