WSJ to expand sports coverage

Robert MacMillan of Reuters reports Monday that The Wall Street Journal plans to expand its sports coverage to six days a week with a separate section.

MacMillan writes, “The Journal, whose parent company Dow Jones & Co is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., will start publishing the section in the U.S. paper on Tuesday.

“The paper already has a sports page that runs once a week on Fridays in its Weekend Journal section. The new sports section will run daily Monday through Saturday. The paper does not publish an edition on Sundays.Â

“The Journal covered sports and sports business before introducing the Friday page a year ago. It wants to use the new section to produce analytical articles and statistics- and graphics-laden packages that put a forward-looking spin on the news, Sports Editor Sam Walker said.”
