not accepted.
■■
■■
■■
■■
■■
TYPE FONTS | Include all screen and printer fonts with digital files.
Try to avoid using style attributes
offered in application toolbars.
Use actual typefaces for best results. No Multiple Master (MM)
fonts
of any kind.
GRAPHICS | Images should be 200 dpi.
PROOFS | Provide proofs for digital ads. Digital hardcopy newspaper
proofs are acceptable. If there is
no proof exchanged, the agency
accepts the responsibility for the final print outcome.
SCREEN RULING | Dow Jones outputs at 100 lines per inch.
DOT GAIN | For best print results, compensate for 35% dot gain
(tone value increase) in the midtone
dot at 100-line screen.
The Wall Street Journal does not run spot-color inks. All files containing spot color or Pantone elements must be
converted to a CMYK ink mix. Not all Pantone colors are able to be matched with CMYK inks.

newspaper profile is available at wsjmediakit.com, or contact the local ad services bureau.
MAXIMUM FOUR-COLOR BLACK | 90% Black, 40% Cyan, 20% Magenta,
20% Yellow
TEXT & GRAPHICS | Type should only be surprinted in areas having
tint values of 30% or less. MultiColored type and type reversed out of two or more colors should not be smaller
than 14 point and
should be reversed out of areas having at least
70% tone value in Black, Magenta or Cyan. Remove
all colors under reverse to avoid registration problems.
UNSHARP MASKING | Higher levels of unsharp masking should be applied to newspaper advertising
where the subject matter permits.
TRANSPARENCIES | Use of transparencies in original files should be avoided due to unpredictable
results that create image artifacts when flattened prior to publication. All transparencies must be
flattened prior to original file submission.

Contract Printing
CONTRACT AND COPY REGULATIONS
Dow Jones & Company engages the services of contract printers in most areas of distribution to print
The Wall Street Journal and other products. Outsourced printing provides readers with more timely news
content and more efficient delivery service.
Caused by format variations in printing equipment, the image size of the product will be altered to fit when
necessary, which can result in reduction and/or distortion to the product images. Some contract printers might
not be able to produce all required pages in process color. Although we make every effort to ensure that quality
reproduction processes are preserved, we cannot guarantee ad sizes or colors will be exact. Color pricing is set
to reflect up to a 6% missed color variance. Advertisers will not be entitled to compensation due to size and color
constraints beyond Dow Jones control. Please be assured that the content and message of all ads would not
be affected.
2015 | GENERAL ADVERTISING RATE CARD | 30
Terms and Conditions
GENERAL RATE POLICY
Contract and Copy Regulations
All rates are subject to change. The publisher will not be bound by any conditions, printed or otherwise, appearing
on any order blank, insertion order or contract when they conflict with the terms and conditions of this rate card,
or any amendment hereof.
Contract advertisers are those who (i) have placed a yearly order by The Wall Street Journal Advertising Order
Form or recognized advertising agency contract, accepted by the publisher and (ii) insert and pay for space in
accordance with one of the revenue or frequency rates specified in the current rate card. All other advertisers are
non-contract advertisers.
To earn revenue or frequency rates, a signed contract or order must be received and accepted by the publisher
within six months of first insertion and advertising must be inserted within one year from the effective date of
such contract or order.
If an advertising contract or order is exceeded or not fulfilled in any edition, the rate charged will be adjusted within
90 days after the termination of the contract period to the rate earned in that edition/region. Nonpayment of
invoices may result in the termination of an advertising contract and a corresponding adjustment in the rate(s)
charged.
The publisher reserves the right, at any time and for any reason, to decline any advertising copy and to cease
further publication of any advertising.
Only publication of an advertisement shall constitute acceptance of the advertiser’s order. The publisher shall in no
event be liable for failure to publish advertising when specified by the advertiser, provided that, if no advertising is
published, any charges therefor received by the publisher shall be refunded.
Advertising agencies are responsible for payment of all advertising ordered on behalf of their clients, but
the publisher reserves the right to hold the agency and the advertiser jointly and severally liable for all such
payments.
The publisher reserves the right to revise, on notice of 30 days, any rates, terms and conditions of this rate card
applicable to contract advertisers. Revisions affecting non-contract advertising may be made without notice. All
advertisements are accepted for publication entirely upon the representation that the agency and/or advertiser are
properly authorized to publish the entire contents and subject matter thereof.
It is understood that, in consideration of the publication of advertising, the advertiser and/or agency will fully
hold harmless and fully indemnify the publisher from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions,
proceedings, recoveries or expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable fees of counsel selected by
the publisher, arising directly or indirectly from the publication of any advertisement (including, but not limited to,
claims of infringement of copyright or trademark or claims of libel or invasion of privacy) or based upon or arising
out of any matter or thing contained in any advertisement.
The advertiser/agency acknowledges and agrees that any advertisement submitted may be included in an electronic
database of published pages.
Advertisers and agencies accept responsibility for communicating any restrictions on advertising content that
prohibit the use of material beyond the ordered area of coverage or on future unordered dates for layout purposes.
Advertisers and agencies further agree to indemnify Dow Jones against any claims, including without limitation
copyright claims, arising from such prohibited use should the advertiser fail to disclose such restriction.
Commission and Payment Terms
Advertising agencies recognized by the publisher receive a commission of 15% of gross. If advertiser/agency is
credit-approved, advertiser/agency agrees to remit payment for advertising in accordance with the terms and
conditions stated on the invoice.
Agency discount applies to color charges.
No other commissions or discounts apply.
Credit Terms
Payments for all advertising run on credit will be invoiced weekly or monthly (as mutually agreed) for ads run during
that period, and invoices shall be payable within 30 days after the date thereof, unless otherwise mutually agreed in
writing by the parties. Credit may be suspended without advance notice for accounts with delinquent balances.
