They will give users access to up to 25 'premium' articles a month, after which they will be required to pay a fee. Print subscriptions will include access to the website. Premium content may include some columns and investigative reporting, MediaNews president <b>Joseph Lodovic</b> said.

<br />In his column, Jarvis argues that permitting linking is not only in News Corp's interests - as (previously) it directed traffic to the likes of <i>Times Online, Sun Online</i> and <i>NotW.co.uk</i> - but is also in the interests of democracy, allowing the public access to public information. "What's public is public - that is, we, the public, have a right to observe, point to, share, and comment on it. And the internet is public," writes Jarvis. Denying NewsNow the right to link, by disabling its crawler using the <b>robots.txt file</b>, impedes free comment and therefore freedom of speech, he adds. &title=<b>Jeff Jarvis'</b> take on <b>News Corp's</b> latest move){kind=link}
