Journal Drops Fees For Electronic Version

This is good news that'll save me a few bucks a month and I also like this decision by Rupert Murdoch as I like to read and would have liked to link to the Wall Street Journal Online on occasions before for this blog, but don't very often since most don't have a subscription to continue reading the linked story.

So I think this is a good move. Even the New York Times brought their columnists out from under the pay to play scenario as they discovered that even the die hard libs wouldn't pay to read Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd along with their other columnists recently.
Murdoch Says WSJ Web Site to Drop Fees

Wired News - AP News: "ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) -- News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch said Tuesday he intends to make access to The Wall Street Journal's Web site free, dropping subscription fees in exchange for anticipated ad revenue. 'We are studying it and we expect to make that free, and instead of having 1 million (subscribers), having at least 10 million to 15 million in every corner of the earth,' Murdoch said.

News Corp. has agreed to acquire Dow Jones & Co. for about $5 billion, and the deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter. A special shareholders meeting is scheduled for Dec. 13 in New York. Murdoch said he believes that a free model, with increased readership for wsj.com, will attract 'large numbers' of big-spending advertisers." continued
