The regional newspaper publisher Johnston Press, whose titles include the Worksop Guardian and the Whitby Gazette is to start charging for web access to those papers. This news follows the announcement by Rupert Murdoch that he was trying to find ways of getting people to pay for web content for his papers including the Times. Technology correspondent Rory Cellan Jones reports on the announcement. Emily Bell, director of digital content at the Guardian and Roger Parry, former chair of Johnston Press, discuss how the model will work.
