Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal Joins Apple’s ‘Netflix for News’

Rupert Murdoch is again betting on Apple Inc.

Eight years after launching an ill-fated digital newspaper for Apple’s iPad, News Corp. is making articles from its flagship newspaper, the Wall Street Journal, available on a new service called Apple News+, which debuted Monday. Selling access to dozens of publications for $10 a month, Apple’s service has been called the “Netflix of News.”

“It’s going to get our journalism into the hands of millions of Americans who otherwise might not be able to get access to it,” Journal Publisher William Lewis said in an interview.
