Unlike other newspapers, Wall Street Journal charges its subscribers to read its articles over the internet but now they are free for the iPhone readers via its new App.

When News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch purchased Wall Street Journal (WSJ), he wanted to drop the “Online Paywall” and make all its content free for everyone, but quickly changed his mind and decided to keep the subscriptions.

If you try to access the WSJ.com directly only a select number of articles will be available for free, others are available only for paid subscribers ($103 per year for online version and $140 per year for online and newspaper versions).

WSJ now wants to make it contents free for iPhone users. They have introduced a new iPhone App, which will make all of the WSJ’s articles readily accessible.

Surprisingly, WSJ offers online subscription for Amazon Kindle users ($9.99 per month). For a 24 month Amazon Kindle subscription, you can get an iPhone instead and read WSJ articles for free.

Wired.com says WSJ is doing this in iPhone to broaden up its user base and try to get the money from advertisers instead and keeping the subscriptions alive for internet subscribers.

If you have an iPhone, you can start reading the WSJ articles with this App link.
