In a 2007 op-ed column in the ''[[Wall Street Journal]],'' Hussman urged newspapers to stop providing free content on-line. Too many potential readers, he said, settle for "limited" on-line coverage and never consider traditional newspaper subscriptions. Hussman called the online posting of so much of the newspaper product a "self-inflicted wound."<ref>Walter E.
