Re: The Sun and The Telegraph go behind Paywalls
They'll all end up doing it, hard copy sales of all printed media have been declining steadily since about 1999.
I've worked in Newspaper/Magazine Wholesaling since 1988, the traditional format Newspaper/Magazine is pretty much extinct. Publishers have to make up that revenue loss in the areas that are now active.

Re: The Sun and The Telegraph go behind Paywalls
Pity they haven't put the paper version behind a great big wall too...

Yeah I am on The Telegraph and The Times ones but I wondered if The Sun had done any major redesign of their site since it was pretty poor before..The Telegraph always seems to forget me as well...

Well, you have to look hard to see past the nag banners but yes, they do seem to have spruced it up a bit.

They could do that, and some will pay.
But Sun readership ( please shout if I have got it wrong) is not exactly people who enjoy paying for something, they can get free elsewhere online.
So I see the sun failing. You can see page 3 anywhere (and no, i don't go looking, did that when younger for novelty, got boring after awhile )
There news content doesn't seem to be great (not read it in a few decades, perhaps it has become more broadsheet?)
Sport may be good (still not read it), but you can get that anywhere. Rumours are dime a dozen

I don't think expect people to pay for a product that costs to produce is greedy. Murdoch may well be greedy and I am certainly no fan but the newspaper business is not one for making large profits and he subsidies papers for the most part as it's a struggling industry.
If we don't want a world of Huffington Posts then we need to start going back to the idea that journalism isn't free.
