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.
