The London Stock Exchange’s New Multi-Year Partnership with Dow Jones
The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has announced a multi-year news and data partnership with Dow Jones, integrating the content of renowned brands such as The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, and MarketWatch into its Workspace platform. This collaboration aims to enhance the news experience and support data-driven journalism by combining LSEG’s data capabilities with Dow Jones’s extensive news coverage.
Comprehensive News Access for LSEG Workspace Users
From today, trusted news from Dow Jones’s globally recognised newsrooms will be available within LSEG Workspace. Premium subscribers will have access to thousands of news stories, including market scoops, exclusives, unique insights, and commentary from The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Dow Jones Newswires, WSJ Pro, WSJ Opinion, Investor’s Business Daily, MarketWatch, Private Equity News, and Financial News. This also includes Dow Jones’s Chinese, German, and Japanese language news, all at no additional cost.
Enhanced News Experience and Workflow Tools
LSEG and Dow Jones are co-developing an “enhanced news experience” for the Workspace platform. Set to launch in early 2025, this feature will display top news from Dow Jones’s extensive range of news brands. Dow Jones senior editors will curate this content to meet the specific needs of Workspace users, making LSEG the inaugural partner for this new subscription proposition tailored for enterprise clients.
David Schwimmer, CEO of LSEG, highlighted the significance of this partnership: “The inclusion of the latest news, commentary and analysis from Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal is a powerful new addition for our LSEG Workspace users. Our partnership will also see Dow Jones benefit from our world class data and analytics capabilities to support a data-driven newsroom across all of its channels.”
Support for Data-Driven Journalism
In addition to providing news content, LSEG will supply Dow Jones’s editorial operations with the latest innovations in workflow and productivity tools. Journalists will have full access to LSEG’s comprehensive content sets, including Datastream, Fundamentals & Estimates, StarMine models, Pricing and Reference data, and SDC Platinum’s deals insights. This integration will support a data-driven newsroom, enhancing the quality and speed of news reporting.
Almar Latour, CEO of Dow Jones and Publisher of The Wall Street Journal, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration: “This partnership with LSEG is key to delivering the world’s best news, information and analysis to business leaders across the globe. Combining the strength of both brands will serve the needs of LSEG Workspace users and enhance our newsrooms.”
Leveraging Combined Strengths for Superior Services
Combining real-time and industry-leading news from Dow Jones with LSEG’s cutting-edge classification, tagging, and search capabilities will result in expanded feed offerings. LSEG will offer access to Dow Jones’s text feeds to existing subscribers and enhance its news analytics services to complement its award-winning real-time news, news archive, and news analytics feed services.
Strategic Partnership and Future Prospects
This multi-year partnership reflects a strategic alignment between LSEG and Dow Jones to deliver high-quality, data-driven news and analytics services. It follows a similar deal Dow Jones struck with Bloomberg News five years ago, showcasing Dow Jones’s ongoing commitment to partnering with industry leaders to enhance its offerings.
As the partnership unfolds, LSEG and Dow Jones will continue to explore innovative ways to integrate and utilise their combined resources, aiming to set new standards in the financial news and data industry.
