Washington Post stories to run in overseas Journal editions


Dow Jones & Co. and The Washington Post Co. announced that the international editions of The Wall Street Journal will begin publishing daily news and opinion articles from The Washington Post.

Starting April 1, The Post articles will be exclusive to The Journal for international English-language newspapers.

Under the agreement, The Wall Street Journal Europe and The Asian Wall Street Journal will have access each day to news and feature articles offered by the editors of The Post, as well as Post opinion columns. Journal editors will select articles for publication; it is expected that The Journal editions will publish both news and opinion articles from The Post each business day.

Additional terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

“After a long and successful newsprint business partnership with Dow Jones, we place a high value on having a journalistic relationship with The Wall Street Journal internationally,” said Boisfeuillet Jones Jr., publisher of The Washington Post.

Paul E. Steiger, managing editor of The Wall Street Journal said that the agreement will provide greater value on a daily basis to readers of the international editions.

“We’re particularly pleased we’ll be able to supplement the work of our own network of more than 150 journalists outside our home country — already the largest of any publication in the English language — with that of The Washington Post’s 25 foreign correspondents in 20 bureaus.”

The Washington Post Co. owned an interest in the International Herald Tribune from 1966 through 2002. The Post will continue providing access to its material to the IHT on a non-exclusive basis through March under a previous agreement.
