What audience pleasures or gratifications does on-line news content offer?
So many online wonder-workers passing through! Yet so little evidence of stickability or momentum as the Mail and the Guardian shoot past theTelegraph's once-commanding lead in the uniques league. You can see why Gallagher didn't fancy the supposed top role for himself: think manager of Crystal Palace in a dodgy season. You can also see, in perception at least, how downgrading the whole newspaper side of the equation might work. If the Barclays want a digital-first operation, this, demonstratively, signals its arrival – at a stroke.

Has the Telegraph made a good or bad decision in sacking editor Tony Gallagher? 

The telegraph have made a bad decision in sacking the editor tony gallagher because the Newspaper editors are like football club managers: they come and, often rather abruptly, they go. But as the newspoaers are making exemplary profits, performing solidly against any competition and holding its digital place in the unique browser league. That would be like giving Arsène Wenger the chop on a wet Tuesday afternoon, a weird, unpredictable lurch. But Tony Gallagher at the Daily Telegraph assuredly knows how it feels now. However it will end up being a bad idea simply because tony already knew alot about the telegraph newspaper and has already done so much in order to make the newspaper a high success therefore without him the newspaper may lose sales.

Summarising

Sacking Tony Gallagher, the Telegraph  have signalled its intention to put the internet first. Which in the 21st century is very useful as everyone is revolved around the internet, and look at that usually as a source of there news information. Moreover,  as journalists are very expensive therefore this is why they must've turned to him as being sacked. The two Telegraphs are expected to make £60m between them in the latest financial year. Profits up, not down. Daily print sales – 2.35% lower between December 2012 and 2013 – represent the best result for any full-service paper in Fleet Street.

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

To a certain extent, I disagree with James Murdoch that the BBC should not be allowed to provide free news on-line. Because firstly they are not the only news source providers as there are millions of other websites that the news websites provide. From sources such as Daily Mail, Daily Mirror and The Independent. People are able to stream this sites for free and able to gain the latest news information. 

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

To a certain extent it was right in his perspective for Murdoch to put his news behind a paywall. As usually papers such as the metro: are free for the public to use especially when they're commuting to and from work. Moreover, as the internet is evolving heavily this is inspiring people to gain news from a different source. However, as newspapers are finding it difficult to make revenue and profit, this was a right decision to make. Because the loyal consumers to the times and the sun would be willing to pay for it. As the journalist are paid a high amount of money therefore there is really good news on the newspaper which is encouraging them to read it. 

However, the disadvantage is that as the newspapers industry especially the sun are evolving there news purely around the entertainment industry people are becoming more and more frustrated due to the fact they are not learning and reading about more important and in depth news such as the economics and health issues. People are arguing that they won't pay just to read about Michelle Obama's latest purse and dress. If the news provide vital and in depth information therefore it will be useful for them to be behind a pay-wall as people will be more willing to pay for the news.
