Breakingviews and the Wall Street Journal
06 Jun 2008
London/New York, June 6, 2008
Breakingviews' relationship with the Wall Street Journal is coming to an end. The new regime has told us it has the utmost respect for our columns but no longer wishes to purchase third-party content, and is therefore seeking to buy us out of our contracts that run through 2009.
Breakingviews’ unique agenda-setting financial insight has become increasingly valuable in today’s tumultuous markets. In addition to our online subscription base of more than 15,000 financial professionals, breakingviews is now published not only in the Journal but also in many influential newspapers around the world, including Le Monde (France), Handelsblatt (Germany), Cinco Días and El Pais (Spain), La Stampa (Italy), Mint (India), The National (UAE), NRC Handelsblad (Netherlands), Agefi (Switzerland) and, from June 15, The Business Times (Singapore).
While we have enjoyed our eight-year association with the Journal, we now have a unique opportunity to bring our award-winning content to a larger group of readers through new partners worldwide who value independent commentary. We are in active discussions with a number of potential new print, broadcast and media partners and expect to be making announcements shortly.
