The Wall Street Journal Professional Edition for consumers has launched, offering readers customized news, alerts, and business search that until now was only available to enterprises. The new service (http://wsj.com/pro) combines the news coverage and analysis of The Wall Street Journal with the global business and news sources from Dow Jones Factiva and the worldwide network of Dow Jones Newswires.

With a powerful search capability and a team of dedicated editors, The Wall Street Journal Professional Edition helps users analyze and quickly understand the issues, industries, companies, people, and ideas beneath the headlines. Anchored by the news and analysis from WSJ.com, it provides a view into key industries with immediate access to news from Dow Jones' 2,000 journalists, as well as the ability to search more than 17,000 global business and news sources-thousands of which are not available on the free web.

This premium service is available to consumers for $49 per month. Existing WSJ.com subscribers can upgrade to The Wall Street Journal Professional Edition for a discounted rate.

Multiple features and tools of The Wall Street Journal Professional Edition allow users to personalize the service to suit their individual needs. Wall Street Journal editors will monitor and select top news and trends across key industries-including pharmaceuticals, healthcare, energy, media and marketing, finance and technology-as well as a range of additional topics and individual companies. Users can customize news alerts and company profiles for industries and topics that are most relevant to them.
