Today, the BBC announced it’s introducing a paywall for consumers in the U.S. The move isn’t a total surprise — on June 15, The Guardian reported the plans were in the works — but it is a marked shift in strategy: it’s the first time the broadcaster will directly charge for its journalism…
Or the reason why the US has had Radio Free Europe for decades.
I believe all such programs were defunded a few months ago…
Their grants were cut by a Trump EO, and they’re suing to have them reinstated. They’re very much still around.
Glad they’re still there - hope they’re not working without pay anytime soon.
Guess the Tankies are loving Trump for that one.
