Wall Street Journal Changing Today

The Wall Street Journal is making major changes to its print edition starting today. The size of the paper is shrinking and more content, notably breaking news and market statistics, is going to the online edition. A recent letter from the publisher outlined "What is Changing -- and What Isn't -- In the Wall Street Journal."

A key change is the launch of a Markets Data Center that will be available free in WSJ.com and will feature downloadable data, interactive charting, and mutual fund and ETF screening. There will be more emphasis on exclusive news and analysis in the print edition. Librarians should note that the "Marketplace" section has a daily index to People in addition to its index to Businesses.

To introduce the changes, the Wall Street Journal Online is free today at www.wsj.com. It is worthwhile to take the tour and read the "Help: A Guide to Finding Tables" found in the Markets Data Center.
