WSJ.com to open up some premium content
January 11th, 2008Posted by Oliver Luft in Online Journalism
The WSJ.com is removing the paywall to some of its premium paid-for editorials, commentary and opinion pieces.
The OpinionJournal site, which used to offer for free certain cherry-picked editorials and new web-only content, will now be ‘offering all of our editorials and op-eds, video interviews and commentary’.
According to the Guardian, the move could be a precursor to new owner Rupert Murdoch scrapping the subscription funding model that currently exists as it plans to launch a new free access website for all its editorials, op-ed pieces, video interviews and commentary.
