《远东经济评论》12月停刊 63载历史落幕
总部设于香港的《远东经济评论》，内容包括政治、学术以及商业领域专家的评论和分析。道琼斯公司5年前改组该杂志，从周刊转为月刊，并削减约80个职位，该杂志所有工作人员几乎全部被裁。
随着全球新闻媒体公司不断涌现及读者投向网络怀抱，《远东经济评论》一直努力应对亏损局面。但道琼斯公司前日发表声明，指当前杂志的状况已无法维持，将于12月停刊。
道琼斯公司表示，随着《远东经济评论》停刊，公司将把重点放在其他亚洲出版物上，包括《亚洲华尔街日报》及其中文网站，以及拟推出的日文网站和新型移动服务。新闻集团行政总裁梅鐸早前曾表示，印度和其他发展迅速的亚洲国家，为该公司娱乐和新闻业务创造了增长机遇。
1986年之前，道琼斯与香港英文报章出版商《南华早报》共同持有《远东经济评论》。在新闻集团2007年收购道琼斯多数股权后，道琼斯接管了《远东经济评论》全部所有权。《远东经济评论》成为亚洲最新停刊的英文杂志。2001年，时代华纳公司旗下的TimeInc.停止出版《亚洲周刊》(Asiaweek)，该杂志是《远东经济评论》的竞争对手。

Far Eastern Economic Review to close
Dow Jones says its Hong Kong-based monthly Far Eastern Economic Review, more than 60 years old, is 'unsustainable'
Tuesday 22 September 2009 12.53 BST
Dow Jones plans to close the its Hong Kong-based monthly Far Eastern Economic Review in December, after more than 60 years of publication.
The magazine's six remaining staff will be redeployed within Dow Jones. The Wall Street Journal publisher said it wanted to "focus on its core publications to better serve readers and advertisers in key markets".
The title shed about 80 staff five years ago when the company, now a subsidiary of News Corporation, turned it from weekly to monthly.
"Unfortunately, despite several attempts at invigorating the brand, the Review's continued losses in advertising revenue and readers is now unsustainable," Dow Jones said in a statement.
Dow Jones will concentrate on the Asian Wall Street Journal, its redesigned WSJ.com, expansion of chinese.WSJ.com, mobile content delivery and the launch of a Japanese-language website in the autumn.
"The decision to cease publication of the Review is a difficult one made after a careful study of the magazine's prospects in a challenging business climate," said Todd Larsen, the chief operating officer at Dow Jones Consumer Media Group.
"It has a rich history of pioneering journalism and helped to set the standard for the press in Asia in the post-second world war era when local publications often lacked the freedom to report honestly. Dow Jones is proud to have been associated with the Review and its invaluable contributions to the understanding of the Asia region."
The Far Eastern Economic Review was launched in 1946. Until 1986 was co-owned by Dow Jones and the South China Morning Post.
News Corp took a controlling interest in the Post and then exchanged its share in the Review for Dow Jones's minority stake in the Post. News Corp bought Dow Jones in 2007.
