It will last so long as News Corp executives believes it helps grow audience and make money.
Nothing wrong with that.
Especially, since I'm betting that it will.
Shouldn't business journalists be overjoyed at News Corp acquiring WSJ? It's going mean a lot more business reporting jobs at the most prestigious news organization in the world.

I agree with you. It will last for as long as any other journal. There is nothing wrong with it.
My concern is - how long will the print media last! Will people have the time or habit of reading the print media in 2050? :smile:
