NEW YORK, July 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dow Jones has been working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to make a five-year archive of English language news from Dow Jones Newswires available on AWS Data Exchange, a service that makes it easy for customers to find, subscribe to, and use third-party data in the cloud.

Available on AWS Data Exchange from today, the content includes an archive of award-winning coverage, commentary, and analysis from Dow Jones Newswires, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and MarketWatch, covering five years of headlines and articles. The archive includes news on every type of investment as well as key regions and markets worldwide, offering broad coverage of equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, commodities, and energy markets.

The collaboration enables businesses to instantly access Dow Jones’s rich metadata and high-quality content through the cloud, and to easily integrate it into other data sets and tools within their broader AWS portfolio.
