Q1: Do you agree with James Murdoch that the BBC should not be allowed to provide free news online?

The bbc news should be able to provide the news for free as it is a government funded channel and we pay for the TV license if the bbc was to be removed from the group of free news channels the licence fee for the TV should be brought down so that we can pay for the news, however essentially we are paying for the BBC news due to license fee and technically not getting the news for free.

Q2: Was Rupert Murdoch right to put his news content (The Times, The Sun) behind a paywall?

He was right because to receive quality news you should have to pay for it other wise people can go and rely on news which may be untrue or unreliable. By paying for the news we are guaranteed quality news that professional journalists put together with extensive research on the topic.
