Wall Street Journal to become free online Rupert Murdoch is about to remove price barriers to the online edition of the Wall Street Journal. See coverage, for example, here, here, and here. His idea is to make more money from advertising than he now makes from subscriptions. The online WSJ now has about one million subscribers paying $99/year. Note that the New York Times took this step in September 2007, and for the same reason. In the same month, Murdoch began hinting that he would do the same for the WSJ. Also remember that Elsevier is doing very much the same thing with OncologySTAT. Comments
