New York Times launches Times Select and answers the argument about free online content from newspaper publishers

It’s good to see the New York Times charging, from Monday, for access to some content online. Times Select membership will cost US$49.95 a year.

There is a long running argument about whether access to content online should be free. That newspaper publishers have provided free access online to what is charged for in their physical product has, in my view, devalued newspapers. This move by the Times respects the work of their contributors and the value of their masthead.
