Madrid, December 23 (European press) –
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is interested in acquiring the financial information company Dow Jones, owner of the Wall Street Journal, or with the Washington Post newspaper, which is also currently owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, as reported in this news. Friday “Axios”.
Bloomberg owns Bloomberg LP, the world’s largest financial information company, widely known for its terminals, which are widely used by professionals in the financial world.
In this sense, Axios, citing a source close to Bloomberg, indicates that the businessman will be more interested in acquiring Dow Jones due to the alignment with his company. The former Mayor of London believes that Rupert Murdoch’s attempt to merge News Corp., the parent company of Dow Jones, with Fox Corp. will not end successfully.
Other economic publications are also published under the Dow umbrella, such as Barron’s Magazine or Digital MarketWatch. In addition, Dow Jones also has a news agency and produces various stock indices.
The purchase of Dow Jones will leave News Corp. the owner of the publishing house HarperCollins, the real estate portal Realtor.com, several media outlets in Australia and the UK, and the New York Post newspaper.
Axios confirmed that Bloomberg has not yet made any kind of approach to News Corp or Bezos, nor has it hired any advisory firm or investment bank to evaluate the agreement.
