I have worked as a professional computer graphics artist, and I do not
know of any standalone program that will give you an effect similar to
the WSJ portraits. If you have Adobe Photoshop, I suggest that you use
a filter called "Cutline":

"Cutline Filter is a new multiplatform, stylized screening and woodcut
effect as an Adobe Photoshop-compatible Plug-in. The development of
the Cutline Filter was inspired by customer's requests to develop
products that create an engraved effect made popular by the Wall
Street Journal and Barnes & Noble. After studying classic engravings
and woodcuts, a unique line/dot combination screen was developed for
the Cutline Filter. This screen replaces the grey tones in a photo or
an illustration with black and white lines which may be cross hatched
in the shadow areas as the lines become thicker or subtly break up
into dots in the highlight areas as the lines become thinner. The
result is a digital-engraving effect that emulates the classic
old-world engraving techniques."

If I'm not mistaken, you don't add any effects. It just prints that
way. If you want it to look like that without printing, then use Adobe
Photoshop.
