FT's Barber: Almost All News Organizations Will Charge for Content

Financial Times editor Lionel Barber is still a believer that people will pay for Web content.

Speaking at a Media Standards Trust event at the British Academy Thursday night, as reported by paidContent:UK, Barber said:

How these online payment models work and how much revenue they can generate is still up in the air. But I confidently predict that within the next 12 months, almost all news organizations will be charging for content.

If they feel it’s distinctive enough…you’ve got to be different.
