New York Times Online soon to be completely free

 Opinion pieces and columns on the website of the major American daily newspaper, the New York Times, are currently still subject to a charge. This is soon to change. According to a report in the NZZ, the top management of the media company has decided to stop charging for access to these texts in future. The New York Times is presumably reacting to Rupert Murdoch's announcement of plans to soon offer the online edition of the Wall Street Journal free of charge. So far, however, the New York Times has not wanted to confirm anything.
