Coverage of the Public Library of Science (PLoS), an organization that publishes open-access jorunals, recouping costs by charging authors a $1500 publication fee. Some good quotes: "We need to get academics to recognise the craziness of what they've been doing. They do all this work and then they just hand it over for free, and then the publishers sell it back to us at these rip-off prices."
