I honestly don't know, but I think in news, time is a factor.
Use this post as a test: what non-paywall link would you submit?
- gear54rus 12y agoJust above this comment tree, there's a link to BBC: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-30077122 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-30077122 Not sure how they differ since non-paywall wsj link does not work for me (still has paywall in 2 different browsers).
- melling 12y agoIt doesn't seem to provide nearly as much information. Not everyone's business model is to give self-entitled individuals free stuff. By posting urls to good articles that are behind pay-walls, you do provide a place to discuss the information, etc., and everyone can still learn. That is assuming at least some of us can read it. I pay for the wsj. Why wouldn't I pay for good research, good writing, knowledge, etc.? People need to earn a living.
