Murdoch's Dow opens Web Journal to some free access
LONDON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Dow Jones & Co has begun opening access to previously paid-for online Wall Street Journal content just weeks after the $5.6 billion buyout by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp (NWSa.N: Quote, Profile, Research).
An item in the Wall Street Journal Europe newspaper on Thursday said the company has rolled out a new Web site offering free access to all its editorials and opinion columns. Core news content remains a subscription service.
The move represents one of the first tangible signs of how Murdoch is putting his stamp on the Wall Street Journal.
As part of the free offering, video clips are being offered from News Corp.'s Fox news television channel.
