Why WSJ.com should become a free site
September 20, 2007
Posted by Chris Roush
Felix Salmon writes on the Conde Nast Portfolio web site why The Wall Street Journal‘s web site should become free to all readers.
“Besides, I reckon that ad revenues can make up for lost subcription revenues. According to Dow Jones, WSJ.com gets 8.3 million unique visitors a month, and would need to raise that number to something over 20 million uniques in order to keep total revenues constant. Never mind the accuracy of the numbers, the key thing here is the percentage increase: readership would have to go up by about 140%. Slate’s readership went up by many multiples of that after it went free, and I reckon the WSJ’s would as well. People looking for financial news right now don’t visit WSJ.com because they know it’s a pay site. If they know it’s free, it could easily become the first best source for all financial news and analysis online.”
