"At any rate, I doubt that Shaun Carney is right that consumers will simply accept paying for what they are currently getting for free simply because they recognise the costs that exist for the established news providers".
I agree. There is so much free info from quality public radio and television broadcasters, as well as free online material from quality blogs, that suggests that online newspapers will struggle for the same readership when the consumer has to pay.
Bad luck for domestic newspapers, but life goes on with an abundance of info still out there.
