ISTANBUL, Turkey and NEW YORK, April 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Wall
Street Journal continues to expand its global digital reach with the launch of
a Turkish language website, The Wall Street Journal Turkiye (wsj.com.tr),
marking another key milestone in The Journal's drive to deliver unrivalled
quality content to audiences in every corner of the world.
The Turkish launch brings the total number of Wall Street Journal websites to
12 in nine languages, three of which launched in 2012: German, Korean and
Bahasa Indonesian. The sites are edited locally to provide readers with a
regionally focused offering while giving advertisers a seamless global solution
to reach The Journal's influential audience worldwide.
'Our relentless growth across continents and countries means that Wall Street
Journal readers can now access our content via a dozen different sites,
choosing a language to suit their needs,' said Lex Fenwick, chief executive
officer of Dow Jones&Company and publisher of The Wall Street Journal. 'We're
confident that the breadth and depth of the Journal's content will deliver
value to an expanding group of readers worldwide.'
News and analysis produced by the Dow Jones network of 2,000 journalists in
more than 50 countries worldwide is now accessed by an expanding global
audience in some of the world's fastest growing markets. In 2008, foreign
language sites made up 5% of WSJ.com's page views, so far this year they make
up 21%. In addition, page views in the countries where the sites are based grew
on average 17% last year.
Cuneyt Toros is editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal Turkiye, overseeing
a team of reporters and translators based in Istanbul. Previously deputy
editor-in-chief at CNBC-e, Mr. Toros has a wealth of media experience in
Turkey, including senior editorial roles at Sabah and HaberTurk.
Content from The Wall Street Journal Turkiye is available on Web and mobile
sites.
'Turkey is one of the most keenly observed and significant economies in the
region, and is rich in compelling stories,' said Gerard Baker, editor-in-chief
of Dow Jones&Company and managing editor of The Wall Street Journal. 'With
our unrivalled global reporting resource, as well as a dedicated local team,
The Wall Street Journal Turkiye will bring an independent perspective on world
news to the region's business leaders and government decision-makers.'
Turkcell is the exclusive launch sponsor for the Turkish Web and mobile sites.
