The Wall Street Journal has decided: iPad version of the newspaper will cost $17,99 per month. That’s almost 10 dollars less than the paper version. The newspaper placed an article in which they quote a “person familiar with the matter”.
The Wall Street Journal is part of News Corp. The man in charge is the famous Rupert Murdoch. He always says people will have to pay for quality content. That’s why most articles on the website of WSJ can only be viewed in combination with a membership. It comes to no surprise that the iPad version of the newspaper isn’t free, but is $17,99 cheap or not?
Wall Street Journal also says six companies will advertise in the digital version of the newspaper: companies like Coca-Cola and FedEx will show their ads.
