Dow Jones to Distribute Editorial Content from Agence France-Presse
NEW YORK,
Under the agreement, Dow Jones Newswires, the world's most trusted source for real-time business and financial news, will distribute to its customers general and political news from AFP, the Paris-based international news agency. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"As the world's oldest news agency, AFP has earned a reputation for speed, accuracy and trustworthiness. With its global scope and 24-hour coverage, our customers will be able to monitor the pulse of global change, enabling them to react quickly to news events," said
Separately, Dow Jones also announced that it will not renew its news partnership between Dow Jones Newswires and the Associated Press. Content agreements that The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Factiva have with the AP are not affected by this announcement.
