THE PAYWALL

“The Times legal blogger BabyBarista quit the paper’s website in early June saying that the move to a paywall would be a disaster for News International. He has since joined the Guardian, which has been pushing a front-page promo panel advertising the fact that its website remains free.!”

I’ve said it before and I will say it again – The Times paywall is anti social media. Its paywall just, as Wales says, removes it from the paper from the conversation. And no one is talking about it. Shame.

http://inute.ac.uk   NOT USEFUL http://www.gold.ac.uk/media-research-centre Led to finding Bob Franklin ‘Introduction to journalism’ book extract on the future of journalism & the pay wall. www.informaworld.com/smpp/section?content=a924149106&fulltext=713240928#references

Found very little in books and library search as even new books are out of date with the very recent paywall changes. Looking through books I looked at New Media publications, and Democracy in Journalism.  They were not of use.
