WSJs product and target audience is probably too different from NYT for the model to be applicable. Which is not to say that I don't think newspapers can develop services customers are willing to pay for. I just don't see how making it harder to click through from the front page is going to drive general newsreaders to pay when there are so many first-rate alternatives.
