The Wall Street Journal rolled out its weekly News Quiz on April 25, inviting readers to test recall of the past seven days. Hosted by Daniel Akst, the interactive feature links to a gallery of images ranging from an Apple Inc. product shot to a U.S. Navy vessel. Participation requires a WSJ subscription, reinforcing its digital push, and to drive ad revenue through higher traffic.

Among the week’s most shared stories, billionaire hedge‑fund manager Ken Griffin sparked debate with a video showing his $238 million penthouse, prompting criticism of tax‑policy rhetoric. The clip resurfaced as lawmakers weigh new wealth‑tax proposals among fiscal conservatives, in Congress, highlighting the tension between high‑net‑worth investors and political narratives. Media analysts note the episode could sway public opinion ahead of upcoming votes.

The quiz also spotlighted quirky headlines—a mayor without pants in North Carolina and a disastrous‑looking sphere that became a blockbuster attraction—underscoring the WSJ’s blend of hard‑news and cultural commentary. By packaging current events into a gamified format, attract younger readers, and broaden its audience, the paper aims to boost subscriber retention while reinforcing its brand as a go‑to source for business insight.
