Would You Pay 20¢ To Read One Wall Street Journal Article?

As more news consumers have started to migrate online instead of getting their news in dead-tree form, this has caused problems for the entire business model of publishing. It raises an interesting question, though: what if there were a news equivalent of buying the one song you like from a new album for 99¢ or less? That option may be coming soon to our national newspapers like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, andWashington Post.

  1. #1 No.I'm not paying for news. To many free sites available.
    #2 No way. If I have to wade thru all the junk advertising,no way I'm paying.
    #3 And how is this 'fee' to be paid? And how and who has time to track and verify what was read and billed ?
    #4 Most of what is passed off as journalism is garbage. Not paying for trash.

  2. I get better news right here and the ads are not too intrusive - I even use some of the services advertised.....
