The Wall Street Journal will roll out a U.S. edition in the United Kingdom beginning April 16, which means that readers in London will have access to the paper several hours before it is released in the United States, the Guardian reported Wednesday.
The UK edition will be sold in addition to the Wall Street Journal Europe from about 250 news agents in London, the West End and Canary Wharf, as well as Heathrow and City airports, according to the Guardian.
The initial print run will be 3,500, and will be sold for £2.50.
“We're offering the U.S. edition of the Wall Street Journal to London readers in a particularly significant year for global business and political issues, with the credit crunch crisis and US elections making front-page news most days,” Michael Bergmeijer, managing director of Dow Jones consumer media group in Europe, told the Guardian.
