From this chapter:

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) may be the most renowned business newspaper in the world; it certainly is in the United States, the largest economy in the world. Regional editions are also published. The Wall Street Journal Europe is edited and published in Brussels and printed in Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, and Belgium.
The WSJ is one of the most frequently consulted financial dailies in the United States. Any casual reader will enjoy going to the center column on the first page for some trivia or plain old fun, such as, "Quizz: How do U Spel Milenium? Not That Way, Actually" (June 25, 1997). The WSJ provides much more than just securities quotations; nevertheless, the detailed financial tables are one main reason for its popularity. The data are provided by a variety of sources. Stock quotes appear daily for the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, and other domestic and foreign exchanges. The WSJ has a large "Directory of Services," which will help the reader find information provided by Dow Jones & Co. For example:
