The Wall Street Journal is established in…
July 1889 CE
The first products of Dow Jones & Company, the publisher of the Journal, had been brief news bulletins, nicknamed "flimsies", hand-delivered throughout the day to traders at the stock exchange in the early 1880s.
They were later aggregated in a printed daily summary called the Customers' Afternoon Letter.
Reporters Charles Dow, Edward Jones, and Charles Bergstresser convert this into The Wall Street Journal, which is published for the first time on July 8, 1889, and begins delivery of the Dow Jones News Service via telegraph.
