Background of the Wall Street Journal

When you think of business news, the first thing that comes to mind is the Wall Street Journal. Named after New York's busiest financial district, it is the most trusted daily business and economics newspaper in the country as well as in the rest of the world.

The first issue came out in 1889 announcing the latest price indices for stocks and bonds. Since then, readership and subscription has continued to increase each year. Currently, it has a worldwide circulation of more than two million as of last year, and also has European and Asian editions.

The Wall Street Journal website was launched in 1996 to complement the print edition.
