Especially
as I doubt the BBC will charge for their news site and tends to be more reliable than any or Murdicks sites.

the BBC won't charge
because it's all already paid for. This micro-charging first came out about 10 years ago and was dropped soon after when they realised that people will just look at the free stuff.

But we already pay for internet access!
Why would we pay even more for content? Especially when the BBC and other places give it to us for free.

Add to that the fact that social networking places give almost immediate breaking news from people who are there at the time...

I'll continue to buy my copy of the Times each day - it fits the cat litter tray once I've read it.
