Searching for News Stories

Story list

The story list displays Dow Jones News, Market News, High Tower News, Need to Know News, and Informa Global Markets News in real-time.

The three most recent stories are listed at the top of the story list and remain there as you scroll through earlier stories.

      The font size of the headlines is largest for the most recent story (optional).

      Unread stories are in bold font.

      Red font indicates a Dow Jones News Flash story.

      Chained stories, which are stories sent in parts at different times, are indicated by an asterisk (*).

      The equals sign (=) indicates a special report, usually analysis or commentary.

      A double asterisk (**) indicates a headline without an accompanying story.

If you have filtered the list, then only those stories that meet your filter criteria are displayed.

Your story list may look different from this image depending on your settings.

 

Note: Chained DJ News stories that have been translated into Russian are indicated by the asterisk. However, chained DJ News stories originally written in Russian (typically covering the Russian Stock Market and Russian events), are indicated by a numeral set off by hyphens, as seen here:

Article preview pane

The story viewer displays the story that is selected on the story list. It also has print and email buttons.

 

Double-click the keyword to filter the news stories. For example, if you double-click “FINANCIAL STOCKS,” then only stories with the FINANCIAL STOCKS keyword are displayed in the story list.

If corrections are made to stories and headlines, the timestamp on the story and the order of stories on the News window remains the same.

This preview pane is optional.

Timeline bar

Each bar in the story timeline represents five minutes.

The volume of stories is represented by the height of the bars. Red bars indicate that a Dow Jones News Flash story occurred within that five minutes.

The story timeline includes a scroll tool as well as a GoTo button and arrow button for moving between times.

 

news histogram

When the news is synchronized with a chart, the scroll tool moves in unison with the cursor on the chart.

News Article window

The News Story window opens when you click a headline. You choose whether you want additional stories to open in the same window or not. This window is similar to the article preview pane.
