Business journalists who work for Dow Jones & Co. properties such as The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and Marketwatch will vote whether to ratify a new contract with the company beginning Thursday, according to an e-mail sent to reporters and editors obtained by Talking Biz News.
The deadline to vote is 9 a.m. on Oct. 12. The ballots will be counted beginning at 11 a.m. that same day.
The union is recommending that its members ratify the contract, but Journal reporter Jim Browning stated last month that the contract was not the best deal that the journalists could have gotten.
