History[edit]
Color was introduced in May 1990, and full color in January 1996.The paper has been published by Dow
Jones & Company since 1921. The magazine is named after Clarence W. Barron, one of the most influential
figures in the history of Dow Jones, and considered the founder of modern financialjournalism. Dow Jones also publishes The
Wall Street Journal.
Barron's introduced a two-section version of the paper 7 March 1994, a three-section version January 1999, and the current four-section version 14 January 2002.
The magazine is known for its sometimes-harsh assessment of corporate prospects, and is noted for investigative
reporting on stock fraud and overvalued companies.
The magazine's primary draws have long been its columns by veteran financial journalist Alan
Abelson, who was editor of Barron's in the 1980s and early 1990s, and the Economics Beat column by Economics editor Gene
Epstein.
