World’s most recognizable publications.

News bulletins to Newspapers• The first products of Dow Jones &

Company, the publisher of the Journal, It was the brief news bulletins.

• It was hand-delivered throughout the day to traders at the stock exchange in the early 1880s.

• They were later aggregated in a printed daily summary called the Customer’s Afternoon Letter.

Reporters Charles Dow, Edward Jones, and Charles Bergstresser converted this into The Wall Street Journal, which was published for the first time on July 8, 1889.

• The Journal took its modern shape and prominence in the 1940s, under the new managing director and CEO Bernard Kilgore.

• Kilgore was the architect of the paper's iconic front-page design, with its "What's News" digest, and its national distribution strategy.

• It brought the paper's circulation from 33,000 in 1941 to 1.1 million at the time of Kilgore's death in 1967.

• Under Kilgore, in 1947, that the paper won its first Pulitzer Prize, for William Henry Grimes's editorials.

• The Wall Street Journal is the largest newspaper in the United States by circulation. According to the Alliance for Audited Media, the Journal had a circulation of about 2.4 million copies (including nearly 900,000 digital subscriptions).

• The newspaper has won 39 Pulitzer Prizes through 2015

and derives its name from Wall Street in the heart of the Financial District of Lower Manhattan.

• By June 2013, the monthly cost for a subscription to the online edition was $22.99, or $275.88 annually, excluding introductory offers.

• 1971 to 1997 brought about a series of launches, acquisitions, and joint ventures.

The Wall Street

Journal has a global news staff of more than 2,000 journalists in 85 news bureaus across 51 countries. It has 26 printing plants.

Political Stance• WSJ is considered the most mainstream

conservative editorial pages.

The Wall Street Journal is now rated Centre. ABC News is now Lean Left, and USA Today is now rated Centre. 

• While the editorial page is commonly understood to have a Right bias, many people might assume that their news pages are also biased in the same way.

• That is true for many organizations, but apparently not the Wall Street Journal. In fact, an older UCLA study rated the Wall Street Journal news page as Lean Left.

Blue feed and the Red feed

To demonstrate how reality may differ for different Face book users, The Wall Street Journal created two feeds, one “blue” and the other “red.”

If a source appears in the red feed,a majority of the articles sharedfrom the source were classified as“very conservatively aligned”.

For the blue feed, a majorityof each source’s articlesaligned “very liberal”.

These aren’t intended to resembleactual individual news feeds.Instead, they are rare side-by-sidelooks at real conversations fromdifferent perspectives.

• I’ve wondered a lot lately whether the owner’s political sentiments are increasingly spilling from their editorial pages onto their supposedly objective news pages.

• The most glaring example of this was appeared in Friday, October 22, 2010 in the top stories of the nation’s two most respected newspapers. Each purported to be informing readers of a troubling trend in big-money politics.

• Declared the New York Times across the top of Page One;

“Top Corporations Aid U.S. Chamber of Commerce Campaign”.

• Declared the Wall Street Journal across the top of Page One;

“Campaign’s Big Spender. Public-Employees’ Union Now Leads in Independent Election

Outlays”.

• Perhaps it’s pure coincidence that a little over a week before readers go to the polls to decide the fate of Congress, the liberal Times and conservative Journal led with stories that just happen to paint their owner’s political foes as buying the election.

• More disconcerting to those who look to the papers for supposedly unbiased news: The “fact” at the core of each story is at odds with the “fact” at the core of the other.

• Today the paper is published Monday through Saturday and features coverage of important issues as well as expert insights on the economy, politics and business.

• The WSJ is distributed in the United States, Asia and Europe and has won more than 30 Pulitzer prizes for it’s detailed and innovative coverage.

And Pulitzer...
