According to News Corp, WSJ has a strong goodwill compared to its competitors at $4.911 billion compared with $ 3.346 billion for USA Today (USAT), and $122.7 million for The New York Times (NYT). NYT and WSJ have charged for some, or all, of their website content and kept their total circulation fairly stable over the turbulent past few years. WSJ is making efforts to use social media and other digital applications such as Storyful, to help newsrooms source, verify and distribute breaking news and viral content.
