Wall Street Journal to launch “CIO Journal” premium service
MUMBAI: The News Corp owned business newspaper The Wall Street Journal has announced plans to launch CIO Journal, a premium news and information service for chief information officers and senior business executives interested in technology.
Set to launch this year, the service will provide coverage of real-time news and ongoing topics that are relevant for senior business technology executives.
CIO Journal, overseen by editor Michael Hickins, will be available online and via a standalone iPad app, and optimised for access via most smartphone devices. Subscribers will receive full access to WSJ.com and a daily morning newsletter providing the most up-to-date and relevant information and analysis.
The Wall Street Journal’s Deputy Managing Editor and Executive Editor, online Alan Murray said, “In the age of innovation, the chief information officer has evolved into a central, strategic player in the corporation. CIOs are no longer just running service organizations; they are central to the most critical issues facing the company, including digitization, mobility, cloud computing, and security. CIO Journal will provide CIOs and their staffs a single and definitive source for the information and tools they need to fulfill that expanded role.”
CIO Journal will be the latest in a series of premium content verticals from Dow Jones that also includes CFO Journal, Wall Street Journal Professional Edition, DJ FX Trader and Dow Jones Banking Intelligence.
Deloitte has entered into an exclusive arrangement to sponsor a regular stream of CIO-centric content and timely features, including research, topical digests, perspectives, and insights and technical analyses. Deloitte LLP also has a similar exclusive arrangement to sponsor a regular stream of CFO-centric content for CFO Journal, which launched in 2011.
Deloitte Consulting principal and national MD of technology Janet Foutty said, “We work daily with CIOs who want and need broad business insight and context, along with deep technology knowledge and experience. There is a surprising gap among top-tier publications in offering a business-led, technology-enabled point of view for the senior technology executive. In today’s environment, given the staggering pace of change and innovation, CIO Journal will be a valuable source of news, information and insights.”
CIO Journal will be anchored by a team of reporters and editors dedicated towards breaking important news to help business technology executives make better strategic and planning decisions. The service will also aggregate news from Dow Jones’ 2,000 journalists worldwide, as well as from sources from Factiva, which includes more than 31,000 global business and news sources, many of which are not available for free on the Web.

News18 India launches Command Centre war explainer with Arya
New show shifts from debates to decoding global conflicts and impacts
MUMBAI: News18 India has rolled out a new war-focused programme, Command Centre, featuring Gaurav Arya, as it looks to offer viewers a sharper, more grounded take on global conflicts amid rising tensions in West Asia.
Positioned as an “insider war room”, the show moves away from conventional panel debates and instead focuses on explaining military developments, decoding strategy and connecting global events to their everyday impact, from fuel prices to economic shifts.
The format leans heavily on visuals and data. The studio has been designed like a command hub, complete with large LED war maps, real-time graphics and an alert system to track developments as they unfold.
At the centre of it all is Arya, who brings his military background to simplify complex war strategies for viewers. His signature line, “Seedhi baat samjhiye”, anchors the show’s promise of clarity over noise.
News18 India managing editor Jyoti Kamal said, “Command Centre, featuring Major Gaurav Arya is designed to deliver accurate insights and a clear perspective on how evolving conflicts impact everyday life, from household budgets to national security. With expert voices analysing every development in real time, the show goes beyond headlines to decode what’s happening now, what it means, and what could come next.”
Echoing the intent, Gaurav Arya added, “In times of war, confusion is the biggest threat. With News18 India’s Command Centre, we are bringing viewers inside the war room, decoding strategies, tracking every escalation, and explaining, in the simplest terms, what it means for India and for every household. Seedhi baat samjhiye, this is where you understand not just what is happening, but what happens next.”
The weekday show will air in the afternoon slot and will also feature Gaurav Shukla, adding to its editorial depth.
With its mix of analysis, visuals and a clear focus on impact, the show reflects a broader shift in news consumption. Viewers are no longer just watching events unfold, they are looking to understand what those events mean for them.
