Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

         The response set forth in Item 4 of the undersigned's 5th amendment to Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding to the end of such response the following:

The undersigned has engaged in discussions with members of the Bancroft family and trustees of trusts holding shares of the Issuer for the benefit of members of the Bancroft family since News Corporation made its proposal to acquire Dow Jones & Company (the "Company").

On May 31, 2007 the following statement was issued:

"As we have been since 1902, the Bancroft Family remains resolute in its commitment to preserve and protect the editorial independence and integrity of The Wall Street Journal, as well as the leadership, strength and vitality of The Journal and all of the other publications and services of Dow Jones.

Since first receiving the News Corporation proposal, the Family has carefully considered and discussed among ourselves and with our advisors how best to achieve that overarching objective, while serving the best interests of the Company's various constituencies.

After a detailed review of the business of Dow Jones and the evolving competitive environment in which it operates, the Family has reached consensus that the mission of Dow Jones may be better accomplished in combination or collaboration with another organization, which may include News Corporation.

Accordingly, the Family has advised the Company's Board that it intends to meet with News Corporation to determine whether, in the context of the current or any modified News Corporation proposal, it will be possible to ensure the level of commitment to editorial independence, integrity and journalistic freedom that is the hallmark of Dow Jones.

The Family also indicated its receptivity to other options that might achieve the same overarching objective.

There can be no assurance that the dialogue with News Corporation or any other party will result in the negotiation, or the desire of Family members to pursue the negotiation, and execution of any agreement regarding the Company or in any transaction.

References herein to the Bancroft Family are to various individual Family members and trusts for the benefit of Family members. Ultimate voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of the Company held or controlled by such individuals and trusts resides with those individuals and the trustees of the trusts.

The undersigned may be deemed to constitute a "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with other members of the Bancroft family and Bancroft trustees. The undersigned hereby (i) disclaims any membership in any such group, (ii) does not affirm the existence of such a group, and (iii) except as otherwise may be expressly indicated in this Schedule 13D, disclaims any beneficial ownership of any shares of the Issuer that may be or are beneficially owned by, among others, other members of the family or trustees.
