Heofz · 17 Oct 2010 at 04:29

news of the what?

EdGey · 17 Oct 2010 at 05:34

Its those who pay it who will be to blame if it does catch on.

Vonhelmet · 17 Oct 2010 at 07:30

And nothing of value was lost...

nicks3607 · 17 Oct 2010 at 07:32

Lol - it has a website?

nHook · 17 Oct 2010 at 07:48

Who honestly would pay for that when the BBC and Guardian news is free and much better?

[FnG]magnolia · 17 Oct 2010 at 08:42

I'd actually pay to have the Daily Mail pay to view only. And then I wouldn't read it because it's ******* awful.

Didn't know the NotW had a website. Hilarious

Lol, now we just need the Daily Mail to go PPV

They need to pay me.

Is there more to it? This just seems too bizarre, why would anyone pay to read the news online?

It's a business model that Murdoch is pursuing. Apparently he thinks people will pay for news so we'll soon see.

They might pay for news but that isn't what the NotW provides. It's a comic for hungover adolescents and the ignorant.

Who would pay for that crap?

oli356 · 17 Oct 2010 at 09:23

Haven't the times done this?

Skull · 17 Oct 2010 at 09:25

How am I supposed to get their high-quality investigative journalism now?!

+1

Its an obvious ploy to see how many idiots live in this country.

ElliorR · 17 Oct 2010 at 09:27

Hmmm.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ which I have already paid for through my licence fee

or

http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/notw/public/home/ which I'd have to now pay to see. Or any other online news source for that matter

It's not a tough choice as I never looked at their website when it was free.

Meridian · 17 Oct 2010 at 09:41

Do the people who read NoTW actually have computers?

Don't read, don't care.
