Ever since Rupert Murdoch bought the WSJ I have been convinced that it has lost its purity. Now there is garish color on the site, now there are videos, now the WSJ covers the fact that Victoria Secret doesn't want to be so sexy anymore. Okay. Whatever.
But on a positive note, the WSJ is doing a pretty good job of covering interactive (and of being more interactive, although I'm torn on whether this is a positive) -- and of covering mobile. Within the last week 2 big headlines have surfaced on WSJ.
One: "Google Asks US to Open TV 'White Space' for Web" This story has been pretty well covered -- it's another move on Google's part to open up mobile -- in this case, unused airwaves -- for the purported benefit of all. Seems to be working so far.
Two: WSJ, NPR and others today cover the fact that struggling Motorola is splitting in two. Nothing the handset maker has produced since the Razr has reached similar heights of popularity. And, apparently, no one would step up to be head of the handset division when it was part of the Motorola company. Seems like a good time to take drastic measures. We'll see how it all pans out.
