After months of speculation, Rupert Murdoch’s the Times newspaper has revealed details of its paywall.
From June this year, users will be asked to pay £1 per day, or £2 per week, to access the Times and the Sunday Times. From May the existing Times Online site, which merges content from the two newspapers, will be replaced by separate sites.
The BBC quotes News International’s chief executive, Rebekah Brooks as saying this is “a crucial step towards making the business of news an economically exciting proposition”.
Will you pay?
The question is, will you pay £1 per day or £2 per week to access news you can get elsewhere? The Times and Sunday Times certainly have their fair share of big-name columnists to provide a unique spin on current events but users don’t tend to react well to paywalls. It will be interesting to see if News International can make this a success.
The move follows the company blocking some news aggregators from accessing its content. A similar paywall for the company’s Sun and News Of The World titles will be announced soon.

Certainly more reasonable than £1 per day! I'm not sure though – I tend to ignore sites that make me register for free access, let alone paid. They're going to have to have some bloody good exclusive stories for me to pay.

If this includes access to decent mobile, iPad and iPhone/iPod touch formats and it's adfree, then that's ok..
I was hoping for something nearer £5/month which is already 60£ a year… £104 seems quite a lot to me.

they can't be serious about this. They need to develop a business model which will work in the new online world or they will end up even worse than they are now…can't say I have a good solution but as I see it the internet providers could offer premium packages which would include income sharing and offering an array of online services where news would be one item among many…similar to subscribing to channel packages from cable and satellite tv providers…the trend cannot be reversed, the genie is already out of the bottle…alea yacta est

So how does he think this will work. For one day can you access everything that has ever been published or just the content for that day on that day? The paywall will be interesting, if it is daily access it needs to be quick and instant – no credit card faffs and no waiting for the registration email.
I know its a cop out comment but either its a huge success (the actual number of payers totals more than their ad revenue) or it is a total flop. Murdoch has got the Internet wrong before (who remembers Revolver, Firedup etc)

It's still £104 a year. I can see charging at that level (and beyond) for news sources like the FT, but the Sunday Times? I'm dubious.

Pay-walls could loose vast ads revenue streams.
As most revenues in the media come from advertisements it is logical to say that restricting access will only hit ads revenue streams so As I said before ‘Cut Your Nose Off to Spite Your Face’ please do. So prepare to have your investors ads money disappear Murdoch, for who will advertise in a Newspaper when it has a very limited audience?
Russian entrepreneurs are moving into UK based mainstream media, so maybe goodbye Murdoch, eventually?
It is noteworthy that since the The Evening Standard was bought by a Russian business man they can now afford to give the paper away FREE in the Streets of London, now another Russian entrepreneur has bought The Independent.

A fool and his money are soon parted – could be Murdoch or could be you, if he succeeds.
When you pay for content on the internet it usually means you give up your real life identity. That combined with what you think (i.e. read) is an extremely valuable commodity.
It is also information that can be used against you should it come to that. It infringes on your right to privacy and to hold your own thoughts. It is why authorities shouldn't know what you check out of the library.
The internet offers tremendous cost savings over print. Murdoch is an extremely greedy man and too stupid to know how to successfully associate content with advertisement or advertisement with content. Or to successfully make the argument that ads should be paid for even if they aren't clicked on.
The identity driven information Murdoch could glean from you is even greater than anything Google ever imagined.

The decision by News International to charge for access to their websites is a really interesting move. Meltwater applauds the innovation of new business models for online content. Everybody benefits from a thriving and successful global publishing sector; any move that can mitigate the financial challenges in the media sector is a positive.
Many publications – such as the Wall Street Journal for example – have already gone down this route and others are considering the same.
The ongoing challenge for publishers, in the aftermath of installing pay walls, will be to ensure their customers are aware of the valuable and compelling content being created by their journalists. This could very easily be content that readers would be more than happy to pay for, but which they might not even know exists. Getting the balance right between the availability of free content and access to paid-for content will be crucial.
As a truly global media monitoring company, Meltwater believes we can play a valuable role in this regard. We are already creating global awareness of restricted content behind login pages and pay walls for numerous media outlets such as the Financial Times. We promote and market their restricted content to a global audience of potential paying readers and thereby drive traffic and revenue for our partnering publishers.
