The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal published its first edition on July 8, 1889, after Charles Dow, Edward Jones and Charles Bergstresser developed Dow Jones’s earlier financial news service. It is published by Dow Jones & Company, a News Corp subsidiary, and is headquartered in New York.

The Journal covers markets, companies, economics, politics, technology and major global events across print, web, mobile, video, audio and newsletters. Its audience includes investors, executives, policymakers and other professionals, while its wider corporate group also operates business-information products such as Factiva, Dow Jones Newswires and risk-and-compliance services.

Its strongest areas are business and financial reporting, investigative journalism and paid digital distribution. The newsroom’s work has won major journalism awards, including the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for its investigation of backdated executive stock options.
