WSJ wants to stop running BreakingViews column

Reuters is reporting Friday that The Wall Street Journal plans to stop running a daily opinion column provided by Breakingviews.com, according to Hugo Dixon, the founder of the financial news Web site.

Reuters reported, “Dixon told Reuters that the Journal no longer wishes to purchase third-party content and is seeking to buy its way out of a contract that was scheduled to run through 2009.

“‘They’re seeking to buy us out of our contract,’ Dixon said by phone.

“He also said Breakingviews has received expressions of interest to buy the company but declined to give more details.”
