Tablet computers such as Apple's iPad may allow the news industry a "re-set" and to start charging for content after years of giving it away for free, a senior News Corp. executive says. News Corp. chief digital officer Jon Miller also says it is too early to make any judgments about the experiment of News Corp.'s The Times with a paid website but charging online readers was "an idea whose time has come."
"I think we're seeing a fundamental shift in where content is consumed and it's on to these kinds of devices," he said. "These tablets are heavy media consumption devices, much more than the Web by itself and even the Web by itself and even smartphones."
