Dow Jones' New XML Feed

Dow Jones Newswires Launches Test Feed for Dow Jones NewsPlus

Thomson ONE Will Be the First Platform to Integrate Dow Jones' New XML Feed

New York, NY, USA. December 12, 2002

Dow Jones Newswires announced today that a test feed for Dow Jones NewsPlus, a new XML feed that will provide an interactive, convenient interface for Newswires' market-leading news, commentary and analysis, is now available to market-data vendors to integrate into their products for financial professionals.

Thomson Financial, a leading provider of information and technology solutions to the worldwide financial community, will be the first distributor to integrate Dow Jones NewsPlus into Thomson ONE, its open framework desktop application. The full Dow Jones NewsPlus XML feed is scheduled to be released by the end of the first quarter of 2003.

The first release of Dow Jones NewsPlus will be a major enhancement for Dow Jones News Service subscribers, available first to Thomson ONE customers. Dow Jones editors will select and rank the most critical, market-moving stories for Dow Jones NewsPlus, with summaries on the home page and links to the complete story and related information such as press releases, industry news and fundamental company data. The home page will also provide stock and bond market updates, direct links to critical topics like politics and economic indicators. The interface also highlights select features, such as columns, analysts' comments and DJ Market Talk. Users of the Thomson ONE platform will be able to access Dow Jones NewsPlus directly.

"A constant goal of Dow Jones Newswires is to make our content more accessible and useful, and Dow Jones NewsPlus is a major step in this process," said Paul Ingrassia, president, Dow Jones Newswires. "Thomson ONE and Dow Jones News Service subscribers will find that this new interface makes it easier to track the news that's most important to them and their clients."

"It's fitting that Dow Jones NewsPlus will debut on Thomson ONE," said Lou Eccleston, president of sales and trading, Thomson Financial. "Thomson ONE is a breakthrough solution suite that delivers a broad range of tailored integration offerings to customers who will be sure to appreciate the new time-saving, streamlined format of market-moving news on Dow Jones NewsPlus," said Mr. Eccleston.

Dow Jones Newswires is working with other distributors on integrating the new XML feed into their platforms. Dow Jones NewsPlus will eventually be available on a Web site hosted by Dow Jones. The feed is also flexible enough to support versions for other Dow Jones Newswires' products, integrate into other sites, and to create custom versions for large users with links to users' proprietary information.
