Springer: Individual online offerings will be subject to a fee
Rupert Murdoch is receiving support in his fight against the end of the culture of free content on the internet. Effective immediately, Axel Springer is offering both free and paid content on the websites of the *Berliner Morgenpost* and the *Hamburger Abendblatt*.
In future, local and regional editorial content will only be available for a fee. Payment is per month, after which it can be extended on a monthly basis. The use of the online archives of the regional offerings will also have to be paid for, as the publisher announces on its website. News from the sports, culture and service sectors, however, will remain free of charge. Springer has already been making print editions of its publications Bild and Welt available for download as PDFs in the App Store since the beginning of the month.
