WSJ's Web site: not everything will be for free
Over the last few months, the media has speculated that once News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch took over The Wall Street Journal he may make everything on the paper's Web site, wsj.com, free.
But today Murdoch indicated that won't be the case.
The Wall Street Journal most likely will keep a significant portion of its Web site content behind its paid-subscription wall. At least that's what Murdoch alluded to when answering a question at the World Economic Forum.
“We are going to greatly expand and improve the free part of the Wall Street Journal online, but there will still be a strong offering” for subscribers, Mr. Murdoch said in a story on the paper's Web site. “The really special things will still be a subscription service, and, sorry to tell you, probably more expensive.”
