Recently I have been frustrated by the different approaches newspapers have been taking to online access. Some are totally free, some allow access but require free registration and some give access only with subscription (and some of those still don’t allow full access to "premium" content). Some archive after 7 or 30 days.

In Beyond "Content": Digging the New Intermediation Business (via Dennis Kennedy) Doc Searls analyses the restrictions on access to digital archives. Why do newspapers see themselves as a container that must be paid for over and over again?

Contrast the approach of the BBC which has opened up its digital archives.
