A couple of weeks ago when my editor Jaime Ho asked if I would like to talk to Mr Almar Latour, CEO of Dow Jones and publisher of The Wall Street Journal, I leapt at the opportunity.
The Journal, Dow Jones’ flagship product, is a publication I have long admired for the quality and depth of its reporting.

Indeed, it is currently defending a multibillion-dollar lawsuit by US President Donald Trump over its unfavourable reporting of his connections to the late financier – Mr Trump has maintained he had no improper dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.
