September 4, 2008

Gillian Wee of Bloomberg News writes that the new Wall Street Journal website, slated to debut on Sept. 16, will allow readers to customize the news to what they want to read.

WSJ.comWee writes, “More changes are coming at the Journal, Thomson said. Next week, the newspaper will form a news hub to share information across the Journal’s printed and online versions, Dow Jones Newswires and MarketWatch, he said.

“The newspaper will also introduce a revamped WSJ.com, featuring an expanded free section with easier access for readers, Thomson said.

“Over six months, the newspaper will introduce new features in the fee-based part of its Web site and charge ‘a lot more,’ Thomson said in an interview. The site will provide different tiers of financial news for readers who will be able to customize what they read, similar to the way users can input their preferences on a MyYahoo page, he said.”
