Time to pull down newspaper pay walls

Newsprint circulation declines confirm that the future is online, writes Norway's media blogger Kristine Lowe, but it's not good policy to hide content behind a pay wall. She describes her frustration with the financial daily Dagen's Naeringsliv, which expects readers to pay for pdfs. "I could perhaps access it there if I had patience to wait for it to load with my slow connection here on the road, but I find it kind of useless to link to something that's so difficult to access in the first place."
