News Corp. acquires Dow Jones in December 2007, and the horizons expand again. Now part of a global media company which takes Fox, SKY, HarperCollins and newspapers from London to Sydney, Dow Jones reinvents the Journal for a early era of news. Now the Journal covers more political and general news along with its leading business coverage.
