The Wall Street Journal
From Libertarian Wiki
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) is an English-language international daily newspaper. It is the largest circulating[1][2] newspaper in the world with a daily circulation of 2.1 million copies (including 400,000 paid for, online subscriptions).[1] The Journal is one of the most widely quoted newspapers in the world.[3] The newspaper is published by Dow Jones & Company.
Founded in 1889, The Wall Street Journal is one of the oldest business publications.[4] The Journal is reputed for its journalistic excellence.[5] It is one of the most respected[6][4][7] and authoritative news sources and its readership includes decision makers in business, government and the arts.[6]
The Journal employs more than 2,000 journalists in 58 countries. The Wall Street Journal Digital Network consists of four websites — WSJ.com, MarketWatch.com, Barrons.com and AllThingsD.com. The Journal has two international editions — The Wall Street Journal Europe and The Wall Street Journal Asia. The Wall Street Journal Special Editions is a collection of the Journal's selected contents published in 39 newspapers in 49 countries.[8]
Apart from being respected and authoritative, the Journal is also economically a highly successful newspaper. It is one of the few major newspapers which successfully build subscription-based online service[9][10] while similar attempt by other newspapers like The New York Times, The Economist etc. failed. Despite this business success, WSJs owner Rupert Murdoch has said he will lower the subscription fee in order to reach more readers.[9]
