Corner of 9th Avenue and West 14th which is about 2-3 miles
on West Side Highway from WTC......

Dow Jones had an office in WTC 1, but its headqtrs and
the Wall Street Journal offices are at 200 Liberty Street
which is about four blocks away from WTC. WBIS used to be
housed at 200 Liberty. Paxson bought WBIS in May '97
and the TV operation moved out of 200 Liberty shortly
after NBC took interest in Paxson two years ago.
200 Liberty appears to be safe at this point. However,
DJ and WSJ are temporarily operating out of their
South Brunswick, NJ campus which also contains WSJ's printing
plant for the tri-state area...
