Speedy Secrets In Defense News Uncovered
From EjWiki
In the end, in an age when we can generally read about major events on Twitter before any of the news channels statement them, why would we ever need pay for usage of their content?
However, I would, and frequently do, purchase quality and 'luxury' news. I would never spend a penny for one of the shrinking quantity of totally free newspapers passed out on my way to function in a early morning, but I'd purchase a Sunday broadsheet with all its extras and trimmings (despite the fact that the probability of me actually reading lots of pages are extremely small).
I have been known to sign up to a paid associates' area on the website of a particular football group (which shall remain nameless) to gain usage of extra content unavailable on the primary internet site: video interviews and press conferences, highlights of reserve and youth group fits, live radio commentary on match days.
Would I spend to read SUNLIGHT online? No. There are often no more than 2 paragraphs in each image-dominated article anyway. It only costs a couple of pennies to get genuine therefore there wouldn't be much value in which consists of site. THE CHANGING TIMES? Maybe, but only when all other quality information outlets starting charging, otherwise I'd just choose the totally free one.
Using a Credit Card to get a 20p Content?
I'm not sure just how much Mr Murdoch wants to charge his users to learn an article, but I'm guessing there is going to be some kind of accounts that needs setting up. I certainly couldn't end up being bothered to obtain my wallet out every time I needed to learn something and I'd be extremely hesitant to commit to subscribing.
On the other hand, if indeed they had a similar system to iTunes, whereby you merely enter your password to get access to a paid article as well as your card is billed accordingly, that may make a little more feeling. But, if I had to achieve that for each major news provider, it could become very tiresome.
Ultimately, they could be shooting themselves in the foot to some extent. If the site helps it be harder and much less convenient for me to read an article, I'll most likely go elsewhere. I would assume that I'd always be able to browse the news free of charge on the BBC's site, which would not be good news for the marketing income of the Murdoch online empire.
Copycats
Let's assume that I in fact wished to read articles on a paid site therefore badly that I paid my credit card information to them, what might stop myself 'reporting' upon what the article said upon my freely available blog? I would imagine it could be very difficult for a newspaper group to Military News prevent a large number of bloggers disseminating the info freely to their users who would gain plenty of traffic along the way.
Recipe for Achievement?
The success or failing of paid news is in the method used to charge and build relationships users, let's assume that the users value the content highly enough to deem it worth spending money on. The jury is certainly still from the entire concept and the probabilities are that lots of will attempt and fail before a profitable system is developed.
