His distinction at the beginning between originators and aggregators, and later on between creators and reverberators, is so out of touch with what has been happening for the past 10+ years on the Web, in that the line between the two has been totally blurred.

WSJ gets readers to pay because most of the readers are workers within the financial industry who NEED to know what's going on within their sector--and they can easily and willingly afford to pay. Readers of entertainment news or political news would not pay and will NEVER pay.
