Advertising Age’s Nat Ives reports that The Wall Street Journal, along with USA Today, is developing a glossy magazine that would be distributed with the newspaper.

“A Rupert Murdoch deal for Dow Jones could, of course, scramble or stall initiatives across the board if it happens.

The Journal declined to comment for this article.”
