The Wall Street Journal, privately owned and headquartered in the US, was founded in 1889 and employs approximately 13,380 individuals. The company specializes in newspaper publishing, providing extensive coverage of U.S. and world news, politics, arts, culture, lifestyle, sports, and health.
On July 10, 2026, hundreds of freelance photographers began withholding their services from The Wall Street Journal, objecting to a new contract that raises concerns over intellectual property ownership, while the Journal stated the contract helps keep pace with technology and protects its photography archive. Previously on July 1, WSJ Opinion launched a new 30-second U.S. television campaign, its first such effort in many years, to showcase its content to millions of influential viewers across premium television and digital platforms, including CBS’s 60 Minutes and NBC’s Meet the Press. Earlier on the same day, Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal announced a multi-year, multi-faceted partnership with Delta Air Lines. This agreement provides Delta passengers and employees with seamless access to exclusive reporting, breaking news, and in-depth analysis from The Wall Street Journal.
