Paywalls vanish when publishers go each other

The Australian Financial Review had a report yesterday about a favourable tax ruling for News Corp. in Luxembourg in 2009. The report is accessible to all despite the vast majority of AFR content being bend a paywall. News Corp. tends to do the sale – leave reports negative to Fairfax outside the paywall.

The more newspaper publishers report negatively on their competitors the more free news we can access. The AFR report is a cracker given recent reports of corporate tax avoidance.
