Right now I am using the Internet to try and source files that can answer this question. I am currently reading an article on the free online version of the 'Australian' newspaper which identifies to me that 'the bundle is falling apart' (Nick Carr); I am able to access the stories that I want to read - in this case the 3rd of September issue of the Australian and the story 'The Winter of Journalism's Content.'
Rupert Murdoch last week announced a paywall introduction to begin charging people to view news online. This will provide the financial capital that is deserved for the hard working journalists to be paid their due and will hopefully keep more of them in jobs. The move suggests to me that Murdoch may be attempting to move the audience from online back to print journalism and newspapers - 'Is this a last ditch attempt to save the newspaper?'
There is also the new concept of both video streaming and podcasting - each of these could possibly have an effect on the radio and television news - people are getting what they want when they want it. Should they have to pay for it online?
