Sponsors 13th International Anti-Corruption Conference, Oct. 30 - Nov. 2 in
Athens, Greece

LONDON and BERLIN, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dow Jones has become an
official global media partner to Transparency International for the next two
years, the company announced today. As part of the agreement, Dow Jones will
provide information resources to support Transparency International's
research. Dow Jones will also support the organization's conferences and
initiatives that provide a valuable forum for the private sector to share

measures.
"Transparency International has been extraordinarily successful in
highlighting the devastating consequences of bribery on ordinary people and
the countries and industries most impacted by corruption. Increasing public
awareness and greater understanding of the challenges associated with
corruption is moving the focus toward enforcement of existing regulation and
helping businesses manage the task of implementing effective processes and
controls," said Clare Hart, President, Dow Jones Enterprise Media Group. "We
welcome the opportunity to lend our products and support to assist
Transparency in their mission."
Dow Jones will provide Transparency International's secretariat and
approximately 90 national chapters with access to its leading global news and
business information solutions, Dow Jones Factiva (www.factiva.com) and Dow
Jones Watchlist (www.fis.dowjones.com/products/risk.html).
"Known for providing market-leading information services to businesses
internationally and having strong connections with its clients, Dow Jones will
be a valuable resource for both data gathering and media support in our global
fight against corruption," said Cobus de Swardt, Managing Director at
Transparency International.
"Since its inception in 1993, the organization has played a leading role in
highlighting the damage caused by corruption and delivering important
reference resources such as their global Corruption Perceptions Index. We look
forward to helping the organization continue its success with its global
initiatives," said Rupert de Ruig, Managing Director of Dow Jones Risk &
Compliance.
Dow Jones will also sponsor the 13th International Anti-Corruption Conference,
organized by Transparency International. The conference takes place Oct. 30 -
