TV news industry website Newsblues is temporarily allowing free access to its website because of a problem with its third-party credit card processor, iBill. Earlier this month, Wired Magazine reported that personal information for 17 million iBill subscribers had been discovered on computers owned by email spam companies. The magazine later amended its story to note that only three of the more than 17 million entries matched past iBill customers. According to iBill, the story was a set-up by disgruntled former employees.
While Newsblues sets up its own dedicated membership management system, the normally subscription-based site is now accessible at no charge. Industry types will find the Sourcebook and TV Jobs sections particularly of interest.
