Reuters rocks

Hate to (not really!) disabuse the blogger who thinks "Reuters rocks" with free access to its news and that The Associated Press has put a nail in it's (sic) coffin by seeking to restrict access: as reported by The Baron, Thomson Reuters is a founder-member, alongside The AP, of the online copyright protection group Fair Syndication Consortium.

It's high time the "free news" surfers realised news-gathering costs money and has to be paid for somehow, which is what the industry is struggling with. Some people don't know their its from their it's, or their reporting from their leeching. ■
