• Moneyline Telerate - offers Dow Jones NewsPlus on its browser-based market data desktop, WebStation (webstation.moneyline.com);

• Consultoria Metodos, Assessoria e Mercantil Ltda/CMA - Brazilian-based information provider plans to use Dow Jones NewsPlus as part of its expansion strategy throughout Latin America (www.cma.com.br);
• Communicator Inc - the secure communications solution provider is delivering the top news summary on Dow Jones NewsPlus' home page through Hub IM, its real-time messaging, collaboration and content delivery tool (www.communicator.com).

"The reaction of our customers to Dow Jones NewsPlus has been overwhelmingly positive. They are thrilled that they can get the news and analysis they need quickly and easily," said Paul Ingrassia, president of Dow Jones Newswires. "The addition of these six vendors greatly expands Dow Jones NewsPlus' availability to even more financial professionals."
