Wall Street Journal to Appeal Court Order: The publishers of the newspaper said they will appeal a preliminary injunction barring the paper from calling a regional weekly section “California Journal.†“The company will seek a stay of the order,†said Lawrence Budgar, spokesman for Dow Jones & Co., which publishes the business daily. The Wall Street Journal this month launched a weekly section in its California editions, calling it California Journal. But a Sacramento-based monthly magazine of state politics by the same name, founded in 1970, sued Dow Jones. A California judge issued a preliminary injunction barring the newspaper from using the name. Unless overturned, the injunction would prevent the newspaper from using the title until a trial is held to decide the issue permanently.
