ONLINE NEWS UP FOR SALE?


Rupert Murdoch says within a year people will be paying for online Newspapers. he's been selling a version of the Wall Street journal for a while and on the back of that success he is looking at applying the same regime to other papers in his stable.
Guido sees the future clearly He calls it the Blogalypse.

The new age cometh. The dead tree press days are numbered. Imagine what that will do to save the planet.

What will it do to save the planet?
Not a lot really as timber plantations that supply the newsprint tend to grow the fast growing pinus radiata that soak up carbon dioxide as they grow.
And if PCs, laptrops, Kindles, etc are on using fuel for longer than before, that will mean more co2 emissions, unless the power is from hydro, geothermal, etc.
