Publisher L. Gordon Crovitz, in a letter to readers, issues a report on the Journal as well as an explanation for changes they are making:
Change and tradition are twin themes of this update, trends reflecting both the Journal and the broad business world we cover. At first glance, the newspaper you hold in your hands has changed more than perhaps on any day in the Journal's history. There are new features and new ways to find and consume the news. These innovations are meant to establish the Journal as the first newspaper rethought for how readers increasingly now get their news, often in real time, from many sources, all day long. A separate section, "Readers' Guide," details the newspaper of tomorrow that begins today.
What hasn't changed is the Journal's central tradition: Our commitment to delivering the highest quality journalism. This means authoritative, accurate and fair reporting, as well as providing exclusive analysis, context and perspective designed for our community of readers.
