Google to Sell Old News Articles

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-don't-even-pay-for-new-news dept.

Krishna Dagli was one of a few people to note that Google is planning on selling old news. Or more accurately, scanning in 200 years of old newspapers, and selling people the ability to view the full text. They'll be using publications like the NYT and Time magazine. Summaries will be free, but the full article text will have a price.

    I can't wait for this to get duped. Hopefully it'll take a few days so I can think up some good gags...

    As for me, that's what I go to the dentist for. Apparently Richard Nixon has resigned! And Car and Driver has pictures of the new Gremlin!
