Times paywall
Not really the right forum I realise, but I'm trying to understand from Trimstab the logic of the comment "The Times" now requires a subscription to view their material on the internet - thereby immediately reducing the credibility of their information.
Very interesting for us media folk because a key argument is that a paywall, if anything, increases the credibility of the information behind it. Because the reason it's demanding payment is to pay the people who go and get the information. The corollary being that if your info is cheap enough to give away then perhaps it wasn't very expensive to get, and so probably wasn't all that good.
I can't exaggerate how important this is to the future of the news business.
