1) Do you agree with James Murdoch that the BBC should not be allowed to provide free news  ?

I believe everybody needs a free source of news so they could be informed and BBC has always been the free source to the people as we pay a TV licence fee and it wouldn't be right if BBC didn't provide free news as BBC Motto is to inform and educate and you cannot inform the people as most people won't pay for the paywall fee. I Don't agree with James as BBC don't take any advertising money and don't care high amount of the public's money as they get a licence fee and are a public broadcaster who mission is to inform and educate the people of the U.k and it wouldn't be right if they took more money of consumers 


2) Was Rupert Murdoch right to put his news content (The Times, The Sun) behind a paywall?

He does have a right to put a fee on his quality news because he needs to make money to pay for the journalists he employs and he has a right to have a paywall.  I believe he does have a right to put a cost to his news as he provides quality news to the public, however he will not make as much money because his competitors have provided free news to consumers and it will not work and be successful
