Comparing Quick Solutions For Military News
According to a recent research, we're not overly impressed with Rupert Murdoch's plans to charge designed for usage of his on the web information sites. Of 2,000 people asked if indeed they would ever purchase online news, 9 out of 10 said 'No!'. Really does which means that that Murdoch's decision to charge users to access his information sites can be foolish?
I wouldn't pay for information, either, unless... EASILY were asked 'would you ever purchase online news?', I would probably say 'simply no', too. After all, in an age whenever we can generally read about major occasions on Twitter before the news channels statement them, why would we ever really want pay for usage of their content? However, I'd, and frequently do, pay for quality and 'luxurious' news. I'd never pay a penny for just one of the shrinking number of totally free newspapers passed out on my way to function in a early morning, but I'd pay for a Sunday broadsheet with all its extras and Defense news trimmings (even though the chances of me actually reading more than a few pages are really small). I have also been known to register with a paid associates' region on the website of a particular football group (which shall remain nameless) to gain usage of extra content not available on the primary website: video interviews and press conferences, highlights of reserve and youth team fits, live radio commentary on match times. Would I spend to read The Sun online? No. There are usually only about 2 paragraphs in each image-dominated article anyway. It only costs a couple of pennies to get genuine therefore there wouldn't be much worth in using its site. The Times? Maybe, but only if all the quality news outlets beginning charging, otherwise I'd just go for the free one. Using a Credit Card intended for a 20p Article? I'm not sure just how much Mr Murdoch wants to charge his users to read articles, but I'm guessing there is likely to be some sort of accounts that needs establishing. I certainly couldn't be bothered to obtain my wallet out every time I wished to learn something and I would be very hesitant to commit to subscribing. On the other hand, if they had a similar program to iTunes, whereby you just get into your password to get usage of a paid article as well as your card is billed accordingly, that might make a bit more feeling. But, easily had to achieve that for every major news provider, it could become extremely tiresome. Ultimately, they could be shooting themselves in the foot somewhat. If the site helps it be harder and much less hassle-free for me to read an article, I'll probably go elsewhere. I'd assume that I would always be able to read the news free of charge on the BBC's website, which would not be good news for the advertising income of the Murdoch online empire. Copycats Assuming that I in fact wanted to read articles upon a paid site so badly that I paid my credit card details to them, what might stop myself 'reporting' on what this article said on my freely available blog? I'd imagine it could be very difficult for a newspaper group to avoid thousands of bloggers disseminating the information freely to their users who would gain plenty of traffic in the process. Recipe for Achievement? The success or failing of paid news is in the technique used to charge and engage with users, let's assume that the users value the content highly enough to deem it worth spending money on.
