The WSJ’s Permeable Pay Wall, Part 2

I dug up some additional information on their pay wall, from an excellent interview with Nieman Journalism Lab back in April.  It explains some of their method behind my observations in an earlier post:

  • Politics, arts, opinion, and breaking news are all free
  • Very popular articles are free
  • Exclusives that will just be repeated elsewhere (“WSJ is reporting…”) are free
