No free news

The German newspaper, Hamburger Abendblatt had begun charging web visitors putting an end to the "culture of free" on the internet. The main newspaper in Hamburg, Germany?s second city, will charge 7.95 euros (11.60 dollars) per month for online access to its local news and back issues, but will keep national news free. The paper says, "We?ve dared to take the initiative, because our news is too valuable to keep giving away." (DPA)
