This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements (1) the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Common 13D”) filed initially on April 12, 2004 by Martha S.

Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

(a) The Reporting Person and the other stockholders party thereto have entered into the Voting Agreement with News Corporation described under Item 6. The Reporting Person therefore may be deemed to beneficially own Dow Jones securities owned by the Voting Agreement Signatories. The Reporting Person has entered into the Voting Agreement, either individually or in her capacity as co-trustee of certain trusts, with respect to 1,025,970 shares of Dow Jones class B common stock and 98,841 shares of Dow Jones common stock.

The Reporting Person and the other signatories to the Voting Agreement, have entered into the Voting Agreement with respect to an aggregate of 9,642,201 shares of Dow Jones class B common stock and 1,692,855 shares of Dow Jones common stock, which represents approximately 49.6% of the outstanding Dow Jones class B common stock and 2.5% of the outstanding Dow Jones common stock, respectively, and an aggregate of approximately 37% of the total voting power of Dow Jones.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the Securities of the Issuer

On July 31, 2007, Dow Jones, a Delaware Corporation, News Corporation, a Delaware Corporation ("News"), Ruby Newco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of News Corporation (“Ruby Newco”), and Diamond Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ruby Newco (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Dow Jones (the “Merger”) and each share of Dow Jones Common Stock outstanding at the effective time

of the Merger (other than as described in the succeeding paragraph and other than shares with respect to which appraisal rights are perfected) will be converted into $60 in cash, and Dow Jones will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Ruby Newco.

In lieu of the $60 per share cash consideration, up to 250 Dow Jones stockholders of record may make an election (a “Unit Election”) to receive, for each share of Dow Jones Common Stock, a number of class B common units (each a “Class B Unit”) in Ruby Newco to be calculated by dividing $60 by the volume weighted average price per share of News Class A common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day preceding the date of the effective time of the Merger. Each Class B Unit will be exchangeable for one share of News Class A common stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Ruby Newco amended and restated operating agreement. As described in the Merger Agreement, the Unit Election is subject to proration and allocation adjustments to ens ure that the total number of Class B Units issued in the Merger does not exceed 8,599,159.

This summary of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety to by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain members of the Bancroft family and trustees of trusts for their benefit, holding in the aggregate approximately 37% of the total voting power of Dow Jones (including the Reporting Person with respect to certain shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by her as described under Item 5) have entered into a voting and support agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with News Corporation. Under the Voting Agreement, the Voting Agreement Signatories have agreed to, among other things, subject to certain specified exceptions:

The Voting Agreement terminates on the earlier of the effective time of the Merger and the date that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. The Voting Agreement would also terminate if the Dow Jones Board of Directors withdraws its recommendation of the Merger or if holders of a majority of the voting power of the Common Stock subject to the Voting Agreement terminate the Voting Agreement in connection with the receipt of a “Superior Acquisition Proposal” (as defined and described in the Voting Agreement).

This summary of the Voting Agreement is qualified in its entirety to by reference to the Voting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
