History shows that newspapers are one of the slowest industries to adapt to new technology. A paywall is a sign of their demise.

Nothing annoys me more than to google something and follow a link to a page that blatantly says “pay me”. Imagine if every website did that....

That's a shame Guardian is about the last decent newspaper free to access. If they put in a paywall, I'll weight in up against FT, NYT and Irish Times.

I predict a rise in news aggregators.
For less than the cost of a times (murdoch version) sub you can get Apple news. That includes the times and Wall Street journal and some rubbish.
But I expect we will see more of this over the coming year.
