A hisory of Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal. Early struggles, success under Barron, the the depression and then post war success under Kilgore. Then again faltering as print gave way to television and the internet, and competitors such as CNBC of GE and Bloomberg News. Early success with the particular kind of journalism, information and statistics including the DJ average, branding, credibility and accuracy, situation stories under Kilgore, and the appeal to a wider audience that is interested in the business news. The inability to leverage the WSJ brand and inability to build WSJ's international papers, a general lack of funding and of direction, and failures in television branding are part of recent history.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
