subject: News of the World Site Now on Subscription [print this page] The current NOTW site suggests that an iPad application is currently in the works, with loads of exciting new features and extras. Thus, it would appear that Murdoch's paid online subscription model is gaining momentum. Trial services, customer registration and new domain hosting strategies are all set to be implemented, mimicking the corporation's current online publications in the United States. These include, most notably, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, both of which began charging for online subscriptions and access to digital archives some time ago. Perhaps best of all, NOTW will remain on the newsstands to be picked up by die-hard print readers and subscribers. Digital is just another of News Corp's many distribution avenues, and one which should help with the bottom line in light of the current financial hard times.
