WSJ now offers free access to all editorial page offerings

Most Wall Street Journal editorial page offerings had been behind a paid subscription wall at wsj.com/opinion, while OpinionJournal.com offered a few free pieces. Those two sites have merged to become a single free site.

Since 2000, we've operated in a dual world on the Web. The majority of our daily editorial offerings have remained behind a paid subscription wall at wsj.com/opinion, while our free site, OpinionJournal.com, offered select stories plus a few Web-only features. As of today, those two sites will merge and become a single free site for all Journal opinion, both in the U.S. and overseas editions, book reviews and leisure and arts.

Readers will be able to access the site either through wsj.com/opinion or OpinionJournal.com, and they will see the same page. OJ readers won't have to change their bookmarks, and they'll have access for the first time to every editorial, daily columnist and clips from our weekly TV show on Fox, the Journal Editorial Report. Meanwhile, those who come to the site via wsj.com/opinion will for the first time be able to see James Taranto's irreverent Best of the Web Today column, John Fund's dispatches from the campaign trail, among other features.
