Bernard Hickey talks to Simon Mercep on TVNZ7's 8pm news show about Rupert Murdoch's recent announcement that News Corp will impose subscriptions for its news online. Bernard says the move to subscription news online is a mistake, particularly for political, general and sports news because consumers can find it elsewhere for free.

  • Murdoch has _effective_ control of copyrighted news content on the planet.

    Wise not to underestimate the level of analysis and preparation for this move, he been moving the pieces into place right through the boom waiting for the bust, now competitive landscape frozen, no capital means his competitors are like deer in the headlights with Rupert roaring toward them in a 10T truck. Sure hope your right - user pays sucks.

  • isnt that what advertising is for on the news sites?
