                         DOW JONES & COMPANY ANNOUNCES
                          SECOND QUARTER 2003 RESULTS
                          Provides 3rd Quarter Outlook


NEW YORK, N.Y. (July 15, 2003)-- Dow Jones & Company (NYSE: DJ) reported

today that it earned 38 cents per diluted share during the second quarter

ended June 30, 2003, compared with 64 cents per diluted share in the second

quarter of 2002.  Excluding the special items detailed herein, the Company

earned 27 cents per diluted share, an increase of 8.0% from the 25 cents per

diluted share earned in the second quarter of 2002.


     Special items in the second quarter netted to a gain of 11 cents.  This

included a gain of 14 cents from the settlement of a business interruption

insurance claim for loss of operating income suffered as a result of the

terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and a charge

of 3 cents for accretion of the discount for contract guarantee obligations.

Special items in the second quarter of 2002 netted to a gain of 39 cents.

This included a gain of 45 cents from the sale of the Company's Essex County

community newspaper properties and a gain of 5 cents at an equity

investment, partially offset by charges of 7 cents for a restructuring


charge for work force reductions and 4 cents to accrete the discount for

contract guarantee obligations.  Please refer to the attached financial

exhibits and notes for more details on the Company's results and special

items.

     Revenue declined 5.6% in the second quarter of 2003 to $393.6 million,

with U.S. Wall Street Journal linage declining 7.9% in the quarter compared

with the second quarter of 2002.  Reported operating expenses were $340.4

million, down 13.4% from the second quarter of 2002, and operating income

was $53.2 million, up 122.2% from last year.  Operating income as a percent

of revenues was 13.5%, compared with 5.7% last year.  Excluding special

items, operating expenses were $358.8 million, down 6.1% from the second

quarter of 2002 and operating income was $34.8 million, compared with

operating income of $35.1 million in 2002.  Operating income, excluding

special items, as a percent of revenues was 8.8%, compared with 8.4% last

year.

     Peter R. Kann, chairman and CEO of Dow Jones & Company, said: "While

the advertising and business environment is still difficult, we are

beginning to see some indications of improvement.  Over the past few years,

we have invested in and improved our products, controlled our spending, and

continue to execute on Business Now, our long-range plan.  These actions are

paying dividends and position us to take full advantage of an improved

environment, when it arrives."

     Dow Jones also said that it expects earnings per share before special

items in the third quarter to be in the upper single digit per share range,

compared to 6 cents per share in the third quarter 2002.  This assumes that

third quarter 2003 linage at the U.S. Wall Street Journal will be flat to up

slightly versus the third quarter 2002.  The third quarter, including the

summer months, is historically the Company's lightest quarter for

advertising, and therefore earnings.  Based on currently anticipated special

items that may occur in the third quarter 2003, the Company expects reported

earnings per share to be in the upper teens cents per share range, compared



with 3 cents per share in the third quarter 2002.  Please refer to the

attached table for a reconciliation of the Company's third quarter 2002

actual earnings and 2003 estimates.


Segment Results

     Print publishing revenues declined 10.3% in the second quarter to

$234.3 million, reflecting the continued difficult global advertising

environment.  However, print publishing operating income of $5.6 million in

the second quarter was up 8.0% from the prior year period.  Advertising

linage at The Wall Street Journal (U.S.) fell 7.9% (up 1.0% in June, with

one extra issue) while linage at the international editions of the Journal

declined 0.2% (up 24.9% in June, with one extra issue).  Barron's ad pages

were down 22.9% in the quarter (up 16.1% in June, with one extra issue).


     Electronic publishing revenues in the second quarter were $80.0

million, up 1.8% from the prior year period.  Operating income was $16.1

million, up 6.1% from last year, while operating margins improved to 20.1%

this year from 19.3% last year, driven by improved performance at Consumer

Electronic Publishing and Indexes/Ventures.  Paid subscribers to The Wall

Street Journal Online, the largest paid subscription news site on the web,

totaled 671,000 as of June 30, 2003, up 3.9% over June 30, 2002.

     Ottaway community newspapers revenue in the second quarter was $79.3

million, up 2.8% over the prior year period (revenues would have been flat

excluding the May 2003 acquisition of The Record of Stockton).  Same

property advertising linage decreased 2.4% in the second quarter (linage was

down 3.8% in June).  Ottaway total operating income was down 7.4% to $23.2

million in the second quarter with an operating margin of 27.1% compared to

30.1% last year, primarily because of increased pension and newsprint costs.

The Company ended the second quarter with $210.3 million in debt, compared

with $119.9 million at the end of the first quarter 2003.  The increase in

debt was the result of the Company's Ottaway Newspaper subsidiary's

acquisition of The Record of Stockton for $144 million in cash plus net

working capital, which was funded with commercial paper debt.

1.  The company's calculation of net income, operating income and earnings
per share before special items may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other companies, since companies and investors may
differ as to what type of events warrant adjustment.  Net income, operating
income and earnings per share before special items are not measures of
performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be
construed as substitutes for consolidated net income, operating income and
earnings per share as a measure of performance.  However, management uses
these measures in comparing the company's historical performance and
believes that they provide meaningful and comparable information to
investors to assist in their analysis of the company's performance relative
to prior periods and its competitors.


2.  The following table reconciles reported results to income adjusted for
special items for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2003

($11.1 million after taxes, or $.14 per diluted share) reflecting the
settlement of its business interruption insurance claim for loss of
operating income suffered as a result of the terrorist attacks on the World
Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

The second quarter of 2002 included restructuring charges of $11.1 million
($6.3 million after taxes, or $.07 per diluted share) largely reflecting
employee severance related to a workforce reduction.

(b) Contract guarantee:

Under the terms of the company's 1998 sale of Telerate to Bridge, Dow Jones
retained its guarantee of payments under certain circumstances of certain
minimum payments for data acquired by Telerate from Cantor Fitzgerald
Securities (Cantor) and Market Data Corporation (MDC).  The annual minimum
payments average approximately $50 million per year through October 2006
under certain conditions.  Bridge agreed to indemnify Dow Jones for any
liability Dow Jones incurred under the contract guarantee with respect to
periods subsequent to Bridge's purchase of Telerate.  In 2000, based in part
on uncertainty with Bridge's solvency as well as other factors, the company
established a reserve of $255 million representing the net present value of
the total estimated payments from 2001 through October 2006, using a
discount rate of 6%.

Earnings in 2003 and 2002 have included charges related to the accretion of
the discount on the reserve balance.  These charges totaled $2.5 million and
$3 million in the second quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively.  For the
first six months of 2003 and 2002, charges related to the accretion of
discount totaled $5.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

Bridge filed for bankruptcy in February 2001 but made payments for this data
for the post-petition periods through October 2001, when Telerate ceased
operations, went out of business, sold certain assets and rejected its
contracts with Cantor and MDC.  The company is now in litigation with Cantor
and MDC with respect to their claims for amounts due under the contract
guarantee.  The company has various substantial defenses to these claims and
the litigation is proceeding.  The trial court rendered a decision in
January 2003 denying the parties' respective motions to grant their own
claims and to dismiss the competing claims.  The company, Cantor and MDC
have all filed appeals from the trial court's order. While these appeals are
pending, the discovery phase is proceeding.

While it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of
this litigation, the company believes the likelihood of a loss exceeding the
amount reserved is remote; however, it is possible that such loss could be
less than the amount reserved.

(c) Gain on resolution of Telerate sale loss contingencies:

In the first quarter of 2003, the company recorded a gain of $59.8 million
($.73 per diluted share) on the resolution of certain loss contingencies
resulting from the sale of its former Telerate subsidiary to Bridge
Information Systems, Inc. (Bridge).  The reserve for loss contingencies was
established as part of the loss on sale of Telerate in 1998 and related to

                            Notes to Financial Information              12

various claims that arose out of the Stock Purchase Agreement, including a
purchase price adjustment related to working capital, an indemnification
undertaking and other actual and potential claims and counter-claims between
the company and Bridge.   In February 2001, Bridge declared bankruptcy.  In
March 2003, these matters were resolved by the bankruptcy court, and the
company's contingent liabilities were thereby extinguished.

(d) Gains on sale of ONI properties:

The second quarter of 2002 included a gain of $44.5 million ($38 million
after taxes, or $.45 per diluted share) from the sale of Ottaway's Essex
County newspaper properties to Eagle-Tribune Publishing Company.  The first
quarter of 2002 included a gain of $153.4 million ($126.1 million after
taxes, or $1.49 per diluted share) resulting from the sale of four of the
company's Ottaway newspapers to Community Newspapers Holdings, Inc.

(e) Gains in equity in losses of associated companies:

The second quarter of 2002 included gains at CNBC Asia of $3.9 million ($.05
per diluted share) which consisted of a $2.5 million gain from the favorable
settlement of a contractual obligation and a $1.4 million gain from the sale
of an investment by CNBC Asia.


3. On May 5, 2003, the company's Ottaway Newspaper subsidiary acquired The
Record of Stockton, California from Omaha World-Herald Company for $144
million in cash, plus net working capital.  The Record has daily paid
circulation of 59,271 and Sunday circulation of 72,698. The Record Group had
