The Telegraph newspaper in London is reporting that Dow Jones & Co., the parent of The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and Marketwatch, is near a deal to acquire the Financial News newspaper in that country.
“Financial News is published in print every week and has its own real-time financial website with around 40,000 subscribers. It is widely read in the City of London, and has a strong following among Europe’s top investment bankers and investors.
