Dow Jones combines print, online units

Dow Jones is combining its print and online units into one consumer business unit.

The overhaul will combine the print and Web editions of The Wall Street Journal for the first time in a new consumer publishing unit, which will also include the financial news Web site MarketWatch, Barron's, and SmartMoney magazine, which is a joint venture with Hearst Corp.

"Basically, we're following our customers," CEO Richard Zannino told The Associated Press in an interview. "If you take The Wall Street Journal, our customers don't just think of The Wall Street Journal newspaper, they think of it as a franchise," getting Journal news either in print, online, in a podcast or some other delivery method, Zannino said.
