News Corp. boss Rupert Murdoch, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, commented on the future of the Wall Street Journal website: "We are going to greatly expand and improve the free part of The Wall Street Journal online, but there will still be a strong offering" for subscribers.

The really special things will still be a subscription service, and, sorry to tell you, probably more expensive."
