Murdoch was quoted in the Journal as saying that WSJ.com would "greatly expand and improve" the portion of the site that is available to non-paying subscribers, but that there will still be a "strong offering" for paying subscribers.
"The really special things will still be a subscription service, and, sorry to tell you, probably more expensive," he added.
Murdoch's News Corp. media conglomerate completed its purchase of Dow Jones & Co., which publishes the Wall Street Journal, in December.
