Reut's going to charge for business-news content. That sound you hear is a barn door closing. Reuters is only eighth among the business-news sites, and such reporting has grown so generic (and bad) no one has a competitive edge; not even the nose-in-the-air
Wall Street Journals, which may rope off content but can't rope in subscribers. Practically speaking this means we get no Lollipop Lou-style interviews, which CNN does better anyway. Thankfully Reut has no plans to charge us for reading about GUERILLAS and MILITANTS.
