Rupert Murdoch, who is considering charging internet users a fee to read stories from his newspapers, is accusing Google "of 'stealing' from his vast newspaper empire" and is threatening to "block the search engine from accessing its content."

The newspaper industry, hurting for revenues in the age of the free Internet news content, is carefully watching Murdoch's moves. Will this be the beginning of a new strategy to increase revenues? Or is it a misguided move that will simply shut Murdoch's "news" organizations (Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Fox News, among many others) out of the vast world of advertising and readers that Google's search engine can deliver?
