Mark Sweney of The Guardian writes Friday that Dow Jones & Co. plans to launch a Japanese language news site next year.
“‘We’re looking at a Japanese-language site, and you’d expect something in the first half of next year,’ said Thomson, who is also the editor-in-chief of Dow Jones.
“Dow Jones, which is owned by News Corporation, also has a foreign exchange information service in Japan that is the fastest-growing revenue source for the company, he added.
“However, Dow Jones has no plans to make an acquisition in the country, according to Thomson.”
