Media tycoon makes Web sites free

If you're a researcher or journalist, Rupert Murdoch's recent decision to make the Wall Street Journal's Web site free and accessible to anyone (including the site's archives) comes as good news. The NYT has already done this.

Increasingly, newspapers are coming to grips with the idea that readers of online content don't want to pay for it.

The trend will be for advertisers to carry the freight.
