The union that represents journalists who work for The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Dow Jones Newswires and MarketWatch criticized a decision by parent company Dow Jones to run a column from Breakingviews.com every day in the Journal.

Once it relinquishes that control to an outsider— whoever that outsider is— the famous and time-tested Dow Jones guarantee of quality becomes that much weaker. That’s particularly true if the outsider has a wide range of clients with competing interests.
“Is this the formula for the WSJ of the future— homogenized news, prepared by outsiders who don’t ask for healthcare or retirement, and who can’t talk back?”
