OT.... Quick, what's the largest subscription news outlet on the Web (one that actually charges its customers)? The answer is the Wall Street Journal Online.....with over 600,000 subscribers. It's $29 a year as an add-on for print subscribers and $59 a year for online only subscriptions.....and IMO it is money very well spent. Here's an article about their recently upgraded format: MEDIA & MARKETING Online Journal Gets a New Look, With Site's First Major Redesign The Wall Street Journal Online on Monday unveiled its first major redesign since the Journal began publishing on the Web in 1996. The Online Journal features new navigation and more powerful search tools designed to help subscribers find the news and information they need, often with just a click or two of the mouse. The redesigned site also enables subscribers to personalize their home pages to include the latest updates on specific companies, industries and topics of interest while still getting the most important breaking news from around the world. To reflect around-the-clock news developments, the Online Journal is organized differently from the print newspaper. For example, readers will find money and investing news divided into two key areas: one, called Markets, which breaks out the latest in stocks and bonds, and a second, called Your Money, which focuses on personal finance. Readers looking for articles from the print Journal can find those stories either in the appropriate topic areas or in a new section called In Today's Paper. The new design also is intended to highlight a growing number of unique columns by print Journal reporters and Online Journal staff, as well as market-research tools and in-depth coverage of major news. Exclusive online columns by Journal writers include "Eyes on the Road" by Detroit Bureau Chief Joseph White, "Tom Herman on Taxes" and "Boom Town Exchange" by Kara Swisher. The Online Journal is the largest subscription news site on the Web with more than 625,000 paying subscribers as of Dec. 31. An annual subscription is $29 for print subscribers and $59 for others. The Journal's first step onto the Web came in July 1995, when it launched Money & Investing Update. The site published a subset of the newspaper's content, providing updated coverage of markets news and the biggest business and financial stories.
