Cision and Dow Jones Settle Contract Dispute
Cision announced that it reached an agreement with Dow Jones to fully resolve litigation between the two companies. The lawsuit originated in 2024 when Dow Jones filed for breach of contract after Cision suspended payments on a long-term agreement to exclusively distribute Dow Jones content, claiming the partnership was “not economically viable” after losing $6.5 million on the relationship. Under the original September 2023 agreement, Cision had committed to paying annual fees totalling $173,624,000 over eight years for exclusive access to publications including The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, and MarketWatch. Both companies confirmed the settlement was reached on mutually acceptable terms, with details remaining confidential and no further comment planned.
