About The Wall Street Journal Europe

Founded in 1983 and based in Brussels, The Wall Street Journal Europe forms part of the world's leading business news franchise, which also includes The Wall Street Journal, The Wall Street Journal Asia and The Wall Street Journal Online at WSJ.com, the largest paid subscription news site on the Web. Together, these publications have a paid circulation of 2.7 million, providing business leaders around the world with unsurpassed coverage of global business news, edited from a local perspective - and hold 31 Pulitzer Prizes for outstanding journalism.

Published by Dow Jones & Company, The Wall Street Journal Europe draws on nearly 1,900 news staff, the largest network of business and financial news staff in the world, including more than 350 in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, working from 42 bureaus and serving 33 cities across the region.

The Wall Street Journal Europe is the only pan-regional daily newspaper to show growth on all three key pan-European readership surveys in 2006, including the European Business Readership Survey (EBRS), where the Journal Europe was ranked the most influential pan-European publication in its field group. The Journal Europe also has a higher concentration of senior management and high income earners among its readers than any international daily or weekly in its field (EBRS 2006).

On Oct. 17, 2005, The Wall Street Journal Europe changed to a compact format as part of a new, integrated print and online business-information solution. In addition to online, its content is available through a variety of formats, including mobile telephones, BlackBerry devices, MP3 players and in WiFi areas. It also carries selected award-winning articles from The Washington Post.
