For now, newspapers’ attempts at gaming Google remain "rogue efforts," says Anthony Moor, deputy managing editor of the Dallas Morning News Online and a director of the Online News Association.

By creating scarcity, we might finally get fair value for the work we do." Sounds like an idea Murdoch would endorse. [1]
Things have gotten so bad in the newspaper business that Lord Black must be thinking there are worse places to be even than where he’s at. If what Doom’s doing on the sidebar isn’t helping we’ll stop. Anytime.
