The Wall Street Journal Digital Network announced plans to launch The News Hub-a live, daily online news broadcast featuring true collaboration and expert reporting and analysis presented by The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Dow Jones Newswires, MarketWatch.com, and AllThingsD.com. Beginning Thursday, Sept. 17, The News Hub will air weekdays at 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET live from the company's newsroom "hub" in New York, where editors from across Dow Jones work together to coordinate news coverage for the various properties.

The News Hub will be available on-demand following the live broadcasts. The New Hub's daily, 8-minute broadcasts will look at the most important news of the day, taking users behind the headlines impacting the markets and economy. The morning broadcast will be hosted by Kelly Evans, economic reporter for The Wall Street Journal, and will focus on the key developments breaking and influencing the economic news of the day, while the afternoon show, co-hosted by Dow Jones Newswires columnist Simon Constable and Kelsey Hubbard of WSJ.com, will air as markets close to examine what happened and what those developments mean. "The News Hub will launch on our new video player, which incorporates the latest in search and navigation technologies and best practices in the surfacing of related content," said Gordon McLeod, president of The Wall Street Journal Digital Network.
