The Wall Street Journal Lands in Japan
The Wall Street Journal launched its Japanese-language website and newspaper this week, which features translations from the English publication along with original Japanese-language articles. Despite the fact that newspaper readership in Japan has been consistently high for decades, it hasn't been immune from the current recession. The industry hasn't been as severely affected as the U.S., but Japanese newspapers are also experiencing declines in advertising revenue. It will be interesting to see how successful, in terms of revenue and popularity, the American-born financial newspaper will be in Japan.
The Wall Street Journal is also available in Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish
