That was the question on today’s edition of BBC Radio 4’s Media Show. The Guardian’s Allan Rusbridger, an opponent of paywalls,  debated with News International’s John Witherow, who will introduce one next month.  I thought Mr. Rusbridger’s hostility to direct payment was less pronounced than on previous occasions. So, perhaps he is beginning to question the wisdom of his strategy.  You can judge for yourselves by listening to this intriguing debate between two of Fleet Street’s most eminent editors.
