A gift I won’t be giving

Over at Poynter’s E-Media Tidbits, Peter M. Zollman reports that he received a solicitation from the Wall Street Journal hawking holiday subscriptions (paid, that is) for its website. As he notes, that’s a silly purchase since (about-to-be) new owner Rupert Murdoch has announced his intention to make WSJ.com free. Perhaps they’ll get some orders from people too busy to keep up with the news.
