Journal to Start Weekend Edition Next September


Dow Jones & Co. said it would launch a weekend edition of The Wall Street Journal starting Saturday, Sept. 10, 2005, adding a sixth day of the week to its Journal franchise.

The Wall Street Journal Weekend Edition will include business and financial news and information through the close of Friday's global markets, and will also feature an entirely new section called Pursuits.

Focusing on what the company calls "the business of life," Pursuits will extend the coverage areas addressed by Friday's Weekend Journal, introduced in 1998, and Personal Journal, which appears Tuesday through Thursday and was launched in 2002. These topics include personal finance, health, travel, cars, entertainment, sports, home decor and leisure activities.
