SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20, 2025 — Meltwater, a global leader in media, social, and consumer intelligence, has announced a strategic partnership with Dow Jones, a division of News Corp, to provide PR, marketing, and communication professionals with premium news and information from some of the world’s most trusted publications. This collaboration aims to enhance Meltwater's media intelligence offerings and equip users with robust tools for tracking industry developments.

Under the agreement, Meltwater customers can now access premium, subscriber-only content from renowned publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch, and The Globe and Mail. This expansion allows users to stay informed about the most critical news affecting their companies, competitors, and industries.

Dow Jones, known for its high-quality content and extensive reach, delivers world-class news, data, and analysis across multiple formats, including print, digital, mobile, and live events. With this partnership, Meltwater users can access Dow Jones' premium content alongside Meltwater’s leading technology to track, understand, and act on the top stories they need to know.

William Ashworth, GM of Corporate Partnerships at Dow Jones, commented on the collaboration, stating, "Our partnership with Meltwater is key to delivering the world’s best news, information, and analysis to public relations, communications, and marketing professionals around the world. Combining the strength of both brands will serve the needs of Meltwater users and enhance communications globally."

John Box, CEO of Meltwater, added, "With this new agreement with Dow Jones, Meltwater continues in our mission to unlock the world’s online data and provide more content than anyone else in the market. Our holistic approach to providing data across news, social, broadcast, and more means that brands have everything they need to track and analyze the stories most relevant to them and create strategies with confidence."

The partnership will see Dow Jones' premium content integrated into Meltwater’s extensive data set, which already includes content from Bloomberg Media, Torstar, and The Washington Post. This expanded resource base will offer users a more comprehensive view of the news landscape, enhancing their decision-making capabilities.

The financial success of this collaboration will depend on user uptake and competitive pricing. If the partnership meets user expectations and offers a compelling value proposition, it could significantly benefit both Meltwater and Dow Jones by expanding their customer base and increasing revenue.
