In a probable first for the business-oriented paper, The Wall Street Journal will debut a weekly 16-page real-estate section "targeting high-end buyers... in late September or early
October," writes William Launder. It will feature "articles on topics such as home finance, distinctive neighborhoods and properties around the world," according to Launder.
The section
"will be mostly U.S.-focused, but it will have a more global feeling than a local paper's perspective," Robert Thomson, the paper's managing editor, tells Launder.
