Dow Jones Corporate Governance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dow Jones Corporate Governance is a newsletter from Dow Jones that covers corporate governance topics ranging from governance conflicts that are still unsettled in corporate law, to proxy contests to shareholder activism. Executive compensation is also frequently covered by CG.

Initially published with articles already written for Dow Jones Newswires, CG started publishing original content in May 2004, just after the fallout from several high-profile corporate scandals and amid increased nationwide attention toward the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Tiffany Kary, formerly of Dow Jones Newswires, is the top reporter for CG, which is still part of Newswires and is published once every two weeks. CG counts companies, lawyers and investors among its subscribers. The subscription-based newsletter costs $2,340 per year for single users.

Besides Kary's original articles, the publication still culls content from its Newswires reporters, and features guest columns and Q&A's, with the interviewer almost always being Kary.
