Murdoch's Choice: Paid or Free for WSJ.com?
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

September 19, 2007

News Corp.

Mr. Murdoch has been dropping hints that he is contemplating doing just that when he takes over, raising the idea in interviews before he clinched the deal and more openly in recent meetings with top Journal editors and Dow Jones Chief Executive Richard F. Zannino.
