The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) is an international newspaper published every day by a company called Dow Jones & Company. It is published in New York City with Asian and European editions. In 2007, more than two million people read it daily, and about 931,000 people read in on its website.[2] In the past, it was the most popular newspaper in the United States (the newspaper that the most people read in the country). However, USA Today became the most popular newspaper in November 2003.
This newspaper has won 37 Pulitzer Prizes,[3] including for reporting in 2019,[4] and to Dorothy Rabinowitz for Commentary in 2001.[5]
In 2015, a report[6] said that up to $700 million was wired from 1MDB, a Malaysian state investment company, to Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak's personal accounts. Najib threatened to sue the newspaper. The report was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize.[7] This led to an investigation in Malaysia. On July 28, 2020, Najib was found guilty on seven charges in the 1MDB scandal and sentenced to 12 years in prison.[8]
