                      DOW JONES & COMPANY, INC. PRICES

                        $225 MILLION OF SENIOR NOTES

NEW YORK (FEB. 14, 2005)--Dow Jones & Company (NYSE: DJ) today announced
that it has priced $225 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.875%
senior notes due 2008 at an original issue price of 99.955%. The senior
notes will be sold in an unregistered offering pursuant to Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The offering
is expected to close on or about February 17, 2005.

          Dow Jones intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to
refinance a portion of its $438.7 million of commercial paper borrowings
incurred in connection with its acquisition of MarketWatch, Inc., and for
other general corporate purposes.

         The senior notes have not been registered under the Securities Act
or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold in the
United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws. Any offers of the notes will be made exclusively by means
of a private offering memorandum.

         This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy any of the notes or any other securities,
nor shall there be any sale of the notes in any state or jurisdiction in
which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state
or jurisdiction.
