WSJ announces revised editorial leadership

Posted June 19, 2008

Managing editor Robert Thomson announced a major phase of News Corp.’s makeover of The Wall Street Journal today, realigning three top editors into a “triumvirate” that will “expedite decision making and give increased authority and responsibility to reporters and bureau chiefs.”

The Journal, traditionally an editor’s newspaper, will also create a central news desk to enhance cooperation between its print, Web, and Dow Jones Newswires reporters, according to a Thomson memo to news staffers.

News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said at a conference last month that the number of editors working on the average Journal story (8.3) is “ridiculous.” Read more »

Report: Possible changes to WSJ’s page one staff

Posted June 12, 2008

The Wall Street Journal’s page one staff is the latest victim of News Corp.’s makeover of the financial newspaper of record, according to .

News Corp. will soon change page one editor Mike Williams’ title to “roving features editor,” and will promote Money and Investing editor Nick Deogun to deputy managing editor, a tipster tells the Web site.

Deputy managing editor for news Bill Grueskin left the Journal last week for Columbia University, less than a month after former publisher – and Times of London editor - Robert Thomson moved into the managing editor’s office.

Marcus Brauchli, appointed managing editor when the Bancroft family controlled the Journal, resigned in April.
