Summary
Dow Jones & Company
enterprise legacy
DOWJONES-AS, the corporate network of Dow Jones & Company, the business-news publisher behind The Wall Street Journal, Barron's and MarketWatch, and a subsidiary of News Corp.
What it's used for
- Dow Jones's own enterprise networking: offices, newsroom and production systems, and the infrastructure behind its news and market-data products.
- Announces around two dozen prefixes, mostly /24s concentrated in
205.203.0.0/16space, plus scattered legacy blocks.
Notable
- This is a media company's corporate AS, not a service provider. The address space is used by Dow Jones itself; there are no subscriber-style reverse names in it.
- The registrant address is Dow Jones's long-standing South Brunswick / Princeton, New Jersey operations site rather than the New York newsroom.
Interesting
- Dow Jones ran market-data and newswire distribution long before the public internet, so it was an early candidate for its own AS: financial publishers needed dedicated, reliable data paths to subscribers well ahead of most enterprises.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
