Irish Times & the Guardian | Newspaper News
News is out – The Irish Times is going free from tomorrow (crumbling to the might of the Jazz Biscuit Paywall campaign?) Eoin and Damien posted about it yesterday with some reactions in the comments.
Another small piece of newspaper news appeared in yesterdays guardian (via Cedar Lounge) – Dunnes Stores across Ireland will no longer be stocking the Guardian or the Observer newspapers following a dispute over ‘commercial terms’.
And just so the Independent doesn’t feel left out (and because it’s a blog about Childrens’ Books) Alison Walsh has a generic ‘what’s out for young readers this summer’ list that covers pretty much every taste.

The Times is going free?
I’m shocked but glad. I haven’t read/watched anything news related since I’ve arrived in France. Haven’t had the chance since I have to pay through the teeth to use the net
Yup – two months ahead of schedule apparently
So – web access in France is expensive too? (As bad as Dublin’s €6 hour??)
Two months ahead of schedule? Seriously? Trouble doon pit, you think?
According a comment from Mulley (here) it’s ahead of itself by two months.
My guess would be that the internal move to merge news desks and online content went faster than predicted…
