I do not agree with James Murdoch because the BBC's purpose is to provide broadcasting and news to audiences without them having to pay upfront. Essentially, as the BBC is funded through TV licenses, audiences are paying for the content they receive whether it is through the TV, radio or online as BBC use the funding for this.
2) Was Rupert Murdoch right to put his news content (The Times, The Sun) behind a paywall?
I do not believe that it was either 'right' or 'wrong' for Rupert Murdoch right to put his news content (The Times, The Sun) behind a paywall. That was his choice and it proved that the newspapers were quite popular with audiences as they still managed to gain thousands of paying subscribers with a current total of approximately 140,000 subscribers.
