Tuesday, July 20: Update: UK Times alums liberate numbers from Rupert Murdoch's paywall, and one story
How's that going? Thinly sourced, but it's from Michael Wolff -- Newser founder, Vanity Fair media columnist and biographer of Rudolph Murdoch:
Bloomberg reported last month (Murdoch Offers Freebies in Pursuit of Paywall Readers) that the drop in readers was expected. The day the wall went up, John Crace, blogging for the rival Guardian, greeted refugees with A warm welcome to guardian.co.uk for all former readers of the Times. Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger has no plans to follow suit, according to Editor's Weblog (Guardian's Alan Rusbridger on why his paper will remain free online). "It removes you from the way people the world over now connect with each other. You cannot control distribution or create scarcity without becoming isolated from this new networked world."
