Charging for access

There are few, if any, news Web sites that charge users subscription fees to click their way through the morning, afternoon and evening news. There’s blog chatter that some news sites might charge users who don’t subscribe to the print edition, but such chatter is few and far between.

And if you listen to media moguls such as Rupert Murdoch, the guy who owns the Wall Street Journal, newspapers make more money through advertising than subscription fees because the site is open to more traffic.

So, are there sites that still charge to log-on for the morning traffic report?
