The company delivers its content to consumers through a range of formats, such as print, digital, mobile, and live events.

The company has also focused on new product innovation by expanding its portfolio of capabilities and partnerships, further expanding into AI-powered personalization technologies and ongoing digital transformation. Already a powerhouse in the market, Dow Jones is well set to capitalize on future expansion and innovation opportunities and between 2019 and 2024, doubled its digital subscription base from 2.43 million to 4.86 million.
