Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Dow Jones & Company, Inc. is an American publisher and financial news organization best known for The Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, and Barron’s. Founded in 1882 by Charles Dow, Edward Jones and Charles Bergstresser, the company has maintained a central role in business journalism for well over a century. Its brands produce reporting, data and analysis across markets, investing, corporate news and personal finance for readers, traders and professional investors.

Beyond daily reporting, Dow Jones has been influential in financial market history: the firm created the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a benchmark index widely used to track U.S. equity performance. The Wall Street Journal, a Dow Jones flagship, has earned multiple Pulitzer Prizes for investigative and explanatory reporting. The company also expanded its footprint through digital properties and services that combine newsroom reporting with market data and tools, serving both retail and institutional audiences.

Today Dow Jones operates as part of News Corp but continues to run its core newsrooms and product lines from New York and international hubs. Its mobile apps—The Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, and Barron’s—reflect a product mix that ranges from breaking news and in-depth features to market commentary, portfolio tools and investment education. For developers and partners, Dow Jones is a long-standing source of market information, content licensing and audience reach across business and financial verticals.
