News Corp & IAPE
News Corp. has officially completed its takeover of Dow Jones & Company with just over 60% of the Dow Jones voting stock endorsing the News Corp. bid of $60 a share.
On the heels of the announcement of the vote, News Corp. Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch appeared in the New York newsroom and pledged to set an even "higher bar" for Dow Jones, which he said "must be the pre-eminent source of financial information and comment in the world."
As News Corp. absorbs Dow Jones we can expect a number of changes to unfold in the months ahead — some subtle, some significant. But there are a couple of things that will remain constant.
