The Times papers introduce pay-wall news sites

Much fanfare as The Times and Sunday Times introduce new sites. Users must register and beginning in June will pay (or not) approximately $4 Canadian a week to access stories. The Times notes that these stories will not be searchable in Google News. "We're taking a big step.... In recent years information and news has been free on the Internet," said Times editor James Harding. "Our feeling is that it is time to stop giving away our journalism, and that's because we feel that we are undermining the value of our journalism," he told BBC radio.
