Headline

The headline of the News Story. There are several symbols used in the Dow Jones headlines that have special meaning:

  • CRB Spot Index at 3:00 EST: 196.61 up 2.11
The asterisk indicates the headline is exactly that - only a headline. One or several headlines may be released to provide the most important facts of a storey quickly, while the reporter writes the full story.

+ ABCD Corp. To Buy 1234 Corp.

A plus sign indicates that a subsequent headline or the storey text is now available to you.

Dow Jones special reports are indicated by the = sign. Special reports are typically longer and go more in-depth about a given topic.

U.S. MacKay/Free-Trade/Cairns -4: Concern Over Venezuela

Numbers embedded in the headline indicate that this is a follow-up article (e.g. "-4:" indicates that this is the fourth article in this thread).
