Uk's News International Get Charge for Websites From June

Uk's News International Get Charge for Websites From June:London: Online media space is set for radical change with UK’s News International announcing Friday that users of The Times and Sunday Times websites will be charged from June.

Access for the two titles will cost 1 pound (USD 1.49) per day or 2 pounds for a week. However, subscribers to the print versions will get free access.

The move to test consumers' appetite to pay for mass-market news online, if successful, will clearly be the game-changer in more ways than one.

"This is just the start," said Rebekah Brooks, chief executive of Rupert Murdoch owned News Corp's British newspaper unit News International which also publishes the Sun daily tabloid and sister paper The News of the World on Sundays.

"At a defining moment for journalism, this is a crucial step towards making the business of news an economically exciting proposition," she said in a statement.

Clearly, the strategy is market-driven and necessitated by declining newspaper sale. Moreover, it’s no secret that media companies, the world over, are scouting for a business model to generate more revenue from their web properties.

Two business newspapers -- the Financial Times and News Corp's Wall Street Journal -- charge readers for online access but consumer publications have so far not followed, fearing a massive loss of readers.

News Corp chief executive Rupert Murdoch has become a kind of champion of paid-for online news, saying Internet giant Google has deprived the industry of revenue by making news articles searchable for free.

In January, The New York Times said it would start charging readers for access to online articles from next year, acknowledging that advertising revenues were unlikely to be able to fund its journalism in the future.

It remains to be seen how The Times fares as a product on the web, given the considerable amount of free content which is easily available on the Internet.

Nuclear Bill In Lok Sabha On Monday

Nuclear Bill In Lok Sabha On Monday :New Delhi, March 13 (IANS) With less than a month to go before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh goes to the US, the government is planning to introduce the contentious Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill in the Lok Sabha Monday.

The bill is likely to be introduced in the Lok Sabha Monday, said government sources here.

The passing of the bill, which seeks to limits damages to American nuclear companies in case of an accident, is a crucial step India is required to complete under the 123 civil nuclear agreement with the US.

The bill is being fiercely opposed by the Left parties and the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party.

Issues relating to the remaining steps of the nuclear deal - reprocessing pact and civil liability legislation - is expected to be high on Manmohan Singh's agenda when he meets President Barrack Obama on the sidelines of the April 12-13 Nuclear Security Summit.

The completion of these steps are necessary before atomic companies of the two countries can resume nuclear commerce.

The nuclear liability bill envisages setting up a commission which will investigate and decide, if there is an accident, who was responsible for the error and fix responsibility.

The bill pegs the maximum amount of liability in case of each nuclear accident at Rs.300 crore ($60 million) to be paid by the operator of the nuclear plant.

The Obama Administration has welcomed the Indian government's decision to go ahead with the bill in parliament, saying it is 'a key move in implementation of the Indo-US civil nuclear deal'.

'We were very gratified to learn ... (about) India's intention to introduce this bill in the current session of Indian parliament,' Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Robert Blake told the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun in an interview.
