Wall Street Journal

I've been an online reader of the WSJ since it was first launched back in 1997 or so. I always get nervous when someone buys a successful paper and says they want to improve it. I was and am nervous about News Corp owning the WSJ and now with the claim they want to replace the NY Times as the paper of record.

While having a good newspaper be the paper of record would be a good thing (and I do not think the NY Times is a good paper), I am not sure I want to see the WSJ move from a business paper to a general paper. Even if they just added the other parts to the paper and didn't change the business section. But I am just a reader not the owner so will have to wait and see.
