Popular search engine Google plans to limit free news access to its users. Under Google's First Click Free Program, readers searching for news articles will be limited to five per day on subscription sites and will be required to pay for subsequent searches. Media analysts believe this is a key battle between new media, which include sites such as Google, and old media, which include television news outlets and publications. But will the First Click Free Program help prevent free access of news by users and slow down the declining profits of old media? Or will it make any difference at all?
