Jeff Jarvis on Murdoch’s pay walls

“Newspapers have had 15 years since the launch of the internet browser to reimagine and rebuild themselves for the reality of the post-Gutenberg age. But they didn’t. Now they are trying to reclaim old business models for a new media economy — a link economy, I call it, in which links give content value. Cut yourself off from links, behind pay walls, and you cut yourself off from the internet and its real value.”

– Jeff Jarvis in the Guardian. Also some great comments on his blog.

With that said, I hold on to my idea to save the newspapers.
