Free Now, Pay Later? DAILY PUNDIT By Bill Quick on Journalism Murdoch expects WSJ.com to become free Web site - MarketWatch "CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — Rupert Murdoch said Tuesday he expects to make the Wall Street Journal's online edition a free Web site, moving away from the paid-subscription model it has successfully employed since its inception in 1996." If this is the case, why am I still getting spam like this: "The Wall Street Journal: Online - Special Holiday Offer, Get 3 Months FREE!" I used to subscribe to the WSJ onine - if you wanted to read the Journal, my thinking went, why in the world wouldn't you subscribe? All the benefits of digital presentation at a fraction of the price of the dead tree version, and no paper to dispose of later. But if they are going to give it away free, why are they selling it today? Seems to me they are setting themselves up for more than a few really dissatisfied customers.
