Dow Jones’ Post

Today marks 135 years of The Wall Street Journal. On July 8, 1889, The Wall Street Journal was first published by Charles Henry Dow, Edward Davis Jones and Charles Bergstresser from a small office in lower Manhattan. The newspaper was four pages long and sold for two cents. 135 years of timely, trusted and impactful reporting that has informed generations of readers across the globe–all thanks to our world-class journalists.
