Around the Blogs: Murdoch and Paywalls

A few reactions to the News International news from earlier:

• Shane Richmond of The Telegraph thinks that it will be a gift to the competition
• Jeff Jarvis gave a quick, negative reaction to The Guardian
• Meanwhile, Matt Wells does a bit of contextual analysis
• Staci Kramer of Paid Content suggests that what emerges from this will be more sophisticated that “everything behind a paywall”.
• Charlie Beckett does some entertaining speculation on what Murdoch’s motivations are.
• Dominic Ponsford of Press Gazette seems to be alone in thinking both that this is a good thing and that it will work.
