"The New York Times will stop charging for access to parts of its Web site,
effective at midnight Tuesday night, reflecting a growing view in the industry
that subscription fees cannot outweigh the potential ad revenue from increased
traffic on a free site."
This is great news for news junkies who have been frustrated by being blocked from reading news stories because they didn't want to shell out the money for them. It will also draw more traffic to the site. the New York Times is a respected name in journalism, among most people anyway. The only reason not to link to it is that you know readers would have to pay.
