Limit on free news - end of era of free newspapers on "Google"
- All those who, thanks to "Google", got used to reading electronic newspapers for free will, most probably, be limited to read only five texts a day from now on - this US company announced
The announcement is seen as a reaction to concerns in the newspaper industry that Google is using newspaper content unfairly. Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, the chairman and chief executive of Newscorp, has accused firms such as Google of profiting from journalism by generating advertising revenue by linking readers to newspaper articles.
- Now, we've updated the programme so that publishers can limit users
to no more than five pages per day without registering or subscribing - said Josh Cohen, one of the managers in "Google"
Google users may start seeing registration pages appear when they click for a sixth time on any given day at websites of publishers using the programme, BBC announced.
The world media remind that the owner of numerous daily newspapers, magazines and TV stations all around the world, Rupert Murdoch, has been trying to convince other big publishers for months that they will be ruined if they don't start collecting money for their products on the Internet.
Newspapers are increasingly looking for new ways to make money from their online content amid a continuing decline in circulation figures and advertising revenues.
