Yet another paper is not letting users past its homepage without paying for content. The News of the World, following in the footsteps of fellow News International publications the Times and the Sunday Times, has a new paywall.

"With its phone hacking scandal continuing to dominate coverage of New Corp.'s mass-market UK Sunday tabloid, it's little surprise that the expected implementation of web charging went almost little-noticed when it actually happened on Wednesday," noted paidContent.

The new website costs £1 a day and £1.99 for four weeks. There is a free £2 credit when you first register, and an option to pay with a mobile device other than a debit or credit card. Subscribers also need to give their postal address to receive content. The site is handled by the same Times Plus platform which powers the Times and Sunday Times, paidContent reported.

"Storytelling has found its best new ally in liquid media" argued Alfredo Triviño, director of creative projects at News International. Tablets are a completely different device from websites, newspapers, magazines and books, and Triviño stressed that they have the ability to substitute them: "They offer a bigger choice and the beauty of different levels of engagement."

Tablets are offering customers a combination of entertainment and information, while trying to surprise them. Triviño summarized the tablet experience as unique: "it is about playing, buying and organizing, not only reading".

Work on a new tablet device began three years ago and it is in an ongoing process. According to Triviño, its success relies on envisioning what is next looking at the expectation of the customers while understanding the technological boundaries. "Loading time is critical", for example, he said.

According to the Guardian, the prime minister's media adviser, Andy Coulson, "personally listened to the intercepted voicemail messages of public figures when he edited the News of the World, a senior journalist who worked alongside him has said." The scandal, which emerged last summer, involved employees at News of the World allegedly hacking into phones and listening to voicemails of public official.

Coulson denied knowing of any illegal activity going on by the journalists who worked for him. However, an unidentified former executive from the paper informed Channel Four Dispatches that "Coulson not only knew his reporters were using intercepted voicemail but was also personally involved," states the article.

Labour MPs plan to call for a parliamentary inquiry into the News of the World phone-hacking scandal and the Metropolitan police is considering reopening its investigation, the Guardian reported. The affair, which emerged last summer, has resurfaced following a New York Times article which once again claimed that hacking had been common at the Murdoch-owned paper and that Scotland Yard had restricted its investigations. Several Labour MPs have apparently been victims of phone hacking.

The MPs push for a new inquiry could be referred to the House of Commons standards and privileges committee. Assistant Metropolitan police commissioner John Yates said on BBC Radio 4's Today programme that detectives will consider whether there is enough new evidence to reopen the case. He specified that NOTW reporter Sean Hoare who was quoted in the NYT's piece as saying that hacking was widespread had not come up on police radar before.
