The Wall Street Journal and HT Media Ltd, a newspaper publisher in India, on Friday announced an agreement under which HT Media's new business paper and its Web site will publish Wall Street Journal-branded pages.
The pages will contain news from The Wall Street Journal's print and online editions and also Marketwatch.com. The Wall Street Journal is the flagship publication of Dow Jones & Co Inc.
HT Media said it recently announced plans to launch a national business newspaper in India. The paper will be edited by Raju Narisetti, who until June was a deputy managing editor of The Wall Street Journal in New York. In India, HT Media publishes The Hindustan Times, which was founded by independence campaigner Mahatma Gandhi in 1924.
"India has emerged as a vibrant and expanding part of the global economy that we have sought better to serve with the right partner and we look forward to a role in helping spur those global connections between India and rest of the business world," said L. Gordon Crovitz, executive vice president, Dow Jones & Co and publisher, The Wall Street Journal.
