Fox News showed this film of Pearl Harbor on the 7th.

There may be something symbolic here, but I doubt it was intentional.

On Wednesday, December 6, 2011, the Chicago Sun-Times announced that the next day, the 70th anniversary of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, it would start charging for its internet content.

If one subscribes, as I do, the cost will be $1.99 per month. Why I would need internet access to article that are next to my garage every morning escapes me.

Will people pay $19.99 a month to read the details of what they see on the newstand?

It would seem that subscribers should get free access.

If you don’t subscribe, the cost will be $6.99 per month.

The article notes that the Daily Herald started the trend and charges $19.99 per month (after 15 page views).

The article notes that newspaper advertising in 2005 was $47.4 billion. That was cut in half by 2010.
