James Warren says it's safe to wager that most attending the meeting in Rosemont, Ill. will be dragged into charging for at least some online content. "Cross one's fingers that a dirty little industry secret, namely the qualitative decline of many papers (the New York Times a notable exception) amid rampant cost-cutting, doesn't now give even long-loyal consumers legitimate pause about paying up," he writes. "Ultimately, many in attendance will start charging for some online content because they don't know what else to do."
