LONDON, January 8 /PRNewswire/ --

- Agreement allows traders, financial executives to benefit from timely 
news and issues critical to business activities

Acquire Media, a premier digital content provider serving the financial
services and corporate communities, today announced plans to distribute news
from Dow Jones Newswires to financial executives in Europe, enabling them to
benefit from critical economic and financial news rapidly and efficiently.

Under the agreement, Acquire Media will include Dow Jones Financial Wire
as part of its standard content set for trading solutions in Europe. The news
will be delivered from Acquire Media's new data center in the United Kingdom,
which opened last month.

Toby Cook, vice president of Europe, Middle East and Africa markets for
Acquire Media, lauded the agreement. "The combination of Dow Jones content
and Acquire Media's state-of-the-art technology delivered from our UK data
center means that European financial executives may now select the best
combination of news, technology and network speed when sourcing news for
traders and investment analysts," said Cook.

Richard Hanks, chief operating officer for Dow Jones Enterprise Media
Group, noted that the agreement provides significant benefits to traders and
analysts.

"Financial professionals rely on Dow Jones to keep them abreast of
economic, financial and political news," said Hanks. "Our agreement with
Acquire Media provides yet another way for traders and analysts to access
indispensable news from Dow Jones from within the tools they are most
comfortable using."

Acquire Media, which purchased NewsEdge in July 2007 from The Thomson
Corp., has boosted revenues significantly during the past year. Since the
acquisition, Acquire Media has invested heavily in re-engineering the
NewsEdge product line to augment Acquire Media's position in real-time
scrolling news and re-establish a dominant standing in the corporate/web site
news market, both under the NewsEdge brand.
