The Wall Street Journal is an American English-language international daily newspaper published by Dow Jones & Company, a division of News Corporation, in New York City, with Asian and European editions.
The Journal is the largest newspaper in the United States by circulation. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, it has a circulation of 2.1 million copies (including 400,000 online paid subscriptions) as of March 2010. Its main rival in the business newspaper sector is the London-based Financial Times, which also publishes several international editions. However, in terms of circulation India's The Economic Times is No. 2 business daily after the Journal.

Since 1980, the Journal has been published in multiple sections. At one time, The Journal's page count averaged as much as 96 pages an issue,[citation needed] but with the industry-wide decline in advertising, the Journal in 2009-10 has more typically published about 50 to 60 pages per issue. Regularly scheduled sections are:

· Section One
  Every day; corporate news, as well as political and economic reporting and the opinion pages

· Marketplace  
  Monday through Friday; coverage of health, technology, media, and marketing industries (the

  second         section was launched June 23, 1980)

· Money and Investing
  Every day; covers and analyzes international financial markets (the third section was launched October 3,1988)

· Personal Journal
