The Bancroft family, which controls Dow Jones, said on Thursday it would meet Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp to discuss his $5bn offer for the company - a move seen as making a sale of the owner of the Wall Street Journal much more likely.
The family issued a statement after a meeting of the Dow Jones board, saying it had reached the conclusion that ”the mission of Dow Jones” might be better accomplished with a new ownership structure.
