Barron’s, the weekly financial newspaper from Dow Jones & Co., is planning an Asia edition to launch this fall.
A managing editor will be based in Hong Kong and oversee Barron’s Asia, an English-language paid website written for investors in both Asia and the U.S.
The Asia publication will have a small staff of reporters and bloggers, according to jobs posted on the Dow Jones website. Barron’s already has a Japanese-language website.
Barron’s started in 1921. Dow Jones expanded its sister publication, The Wall Street Journal, to Asia in 1976 and to Europe in 1983. The Journal now also operates a Chinese-language website.
Barron’s has more than 300,000 print subscribers in the United States.
