Guardian Extra Launch

The Guardian have launched a new online facet to their media offer with extra - it's on a free trial at the moment but after August there will be a subscription, it's interesting to note that this corresponds with The Times becoming a pay per view site at around the same time, with many local papers considering the same approach to revenue sourcing.


It's very difficult to generate revenue from news sites, so it will be interesting to see how they manage - but there is an interesting little video here by Guardian Editor Alan Rushbridger about the future of new media and newspapers - and also a short history of The Guardian, and The Observer.
