Raising the heat, WSJ now at NYC Starbucks, too

The U.S. flagship joins The New York Times and recent entrant USA Today in selling issues at the coffee chain's 450 stores in New York City, the company announced today. USA Today said earlier this month that it's selling at Starbucks in-store newsstands nationwide, as the NYT has been for years under a once-exclusive agreement among the national dailies.

In a statement, the company says: "This new distribution agreement comes as the Journal prepares to launch its highly anticipated New York section next month, which will capture readers' attention by applying the Journal's unique insight and analysis to a wide range of topics of interest to New Yorkers."
