The Wall Street Journal announced Wednesday that it will begin publishing a weekend edition, starting Saturday, September 10, 2005. The new edition will include the latest business and
financial news and information through the close of Friday's global markets, and will also feature a new section, "Pursuits," extending the
Journal's "Business of Life" franchise, which
includes "Weekend Journal" and "Personal Journal."
The Wall Street Journal was published six days a week from its founding in 1889 until 1953, when, following the ending of Saturday
trading on the New York Stock Exchange, publication was cut back to five days.
