London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and Dow Jones have announced a comprehensive multi-year data, news, and analytics partnership. The collaboration, which commenced today (July 2, 2024), aims to integrate premium news content with advanced data analytics, benefiting both companies' platforms and users.
Under this agreement, LSEG's flagship digital platform, Workspace, will now feature news and commentary from Dow Jones's leading brands, including The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and MarketWatch. This integration comes at no additional cost to premium subscribers, who will gain access to thousands of news stories, market scoops, and unique insights across multiple languages.
In reciprocation, LSEG will equip Dow Jones's editorial operations with its Workspace platform and cutting-edge workflow tools. This move is set to enhance the data-driven capabilities of Dow Jones's newsrooms, providing journalists with access to LSEG's extensive content sets and deals insights.
The partnership extends to The Wall Street Journal's coverage of global deal-making, which will be enriched by LSEG's Deals Intelligence and League Tables. This collaboration is expected to bolster the WSJ Investment Banking Scorecard, leveraging over four decades of LSEG's deals data and insights.
LSEG and Dow Jones will co-develop an enhanced news experience within Workspace, curated by Dow Jones senior editors to showcase the top news from across the full range of Dow Jones news brands, individually tailored to meet the needs of the Workspace audience. Set to launch in early 2025, LSEG will be Dow Jones's inaugural partner using this new subscription proposition customised for enterprise clients.
The combination of real time and industry-leading news from Dow Jones newsrooms with LSEG's cutting-edge classification, tagging and search capabilities, will result in expanded feed offerings. LSEG will offer access to Dow Jones's text feeds to existing subscribers and will enhance its news analytics services from this content to complement its award-winning real-time news, news archive and news analytics feed services.
David Schwimmer, CEO of LSEG, highlighted the significance of this partnership: "The inclusion of the latest news, commentary and analysis from Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal is a powerful new addition for our LSEG Workspace users. Our partnership will also see Dow Jones benefit from our world class data and analytics capabilities to support a data-driven newsroom across all of its channels."
Almar Latour, CEO of Dow Jones and Publisher of The Wall Street Journal, stated: “This partnership with LSEG is key to delivering the world's best news, information and analysis to business leaders across the globe. Combining the strength of both brands will serve the needs of LSEG Workspace users and enhance our newsrooms.”
