Dow Jones vs finance internship for sophomore summer

I am a sophomore at a semi target, currently in the process of trying to secure an internship for summer 2019. I am still waiting to hear back from corp and lev fin roles that I have applied for. However, I was approached with the offer of interning at Dow Jones in New York. I would likely have to accept this offer even before I hear back from other firms, yet at the same time it would be nice to have a role locked down.

I was wondering if an internship at Dow Jones would be appropriate for the purposes of later acquiring an IB internship for summer 2020, or if I should strictly seek a role in finance for this coming summer.
