Information and content services company YellowBrix has bought online news syndicator Screaming Media from Dow Jones & Co. to "expand its reach into the corporate world," Dow Jones Newswires reported today.

Terms of the sale were not released. Screaming Media was previously owned by MarketWatch, which purchased the company for US$103 million in 2003. MarketWatch was bought by Dow Jones in 2004 for $519 million. Both are now owned by News Corp.

"The acquisition of Screaming Media further complements the YellowBrix customer and content network," Jeff Massa, president and CEO said in a press release. "The acquisition further extends YellowBrix' reach into the corporate community, and will continue to strengthen our position as a leading provider of targeted business news and syndicated information solutions to the corporate market."
