Half of netizens are willing to pay for the game, not for the news.

Internet users are more likely to pay for online entertainment, but are unwilling to pay for Internet news, according to a survey by Nielsen, a research firm, released recently.　　Nielsen surveyed 27,000 consumers in 52 countries around the world and found that netizens were more likely to pay for movies, games and music. Nearly 60% of respondents said they were willing to pay for movies and music, while more than 50% offered to pay for the game.　　By contrast, the proportion of willing to pay for Internet news is only more than 30%. The findings suggest that the New York Times's recently announced fee-charging strategy may not be sensible.　　The New York Times announced last month that, starting in 2011, online readers are free to read a certain number of articles a month, paying more than a ration. Also, News Corp CEO Rupert Rupert Murdoch has said it plans to charge its news sites in the middle of the year.
