Financial News, DJ property, redesigns

Robert Andrews of PaidContent reports Monday that Financial News, the Dow Jones site that covers the London securities markets, has unveiled a redesign.

Andrews writes, “DJ bought the site, which was started in the 90s, from its founders in 2007. WSJ’s rival Financial Times, too, is still buying small independent publishers in specific trading communities.

“The new look is undramatic. The site still covers asset management, investment banking, private equity, trading and technologies. New features are a blog and more in-depth reporting and data tools.

“DJ has resisted what may have been a temptation to roll Financial News in with WSJ more widely, as the paper continues to court UK and European audiences.

“The site, which is also a newspaper, claims over 47,000 subscribers, though only 1,100 paying site license holders.”
