Internet users should pay an annual fee to support print media, a special committee has advised Dutch media minister Ronald Plasterk.

A fee of several euros per year per internet connection should be made available to boost innovations by print media, according to a committee under the chairmanship of former politician Elco Brinkman that published its findings on Tuesday.
