What's News: Journal Reshuffles News Desk Structure

What's News: <i>Journal</i> Reshuffles News Desk Structure
via newseum.org

The Wall Street Journal is organizing reporters into two news desks. One desk will consist of general news for the paper's newly organized A section—it'll include religion, science and foreign news—which sounds an awful like the A-section of The New York Times. The other desk will be the bread and butter of classic Journal reporting on corporate and business news. Romenesko has the memo, and in part, here's what Marcus Brauchli had to say:

In essence, we'll organize the desk into two parts. One will focus on general news, from the U.S. and around the world, as well as the economy. The other section of the News Desk will focus on corporate and business news. Each will serve the print and online Journals.

The subjects handled by the general news desk will include U.S. and world news, the economy, regulation, politics and policy -- matters that usually appear in the A section of the print edition. The general desk (and soon the A section of the paper) will also deal with coverage of news about education, religion, science, philanthropy and other issues.

The corporate news desk will oversee news about companies, management and strategy, technology, media and marketing and the art of business. It will oversee an enlarged Marketplace section of the print paper, which will be a robust, news-driven, international-minded compendium of all that matters in business news each day.

WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON "CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD" OF LISTED CORP. MAKES EX-GOV SPITZER LOOK LIKE "MOTHER TERSA". WAITED 25 YEARS TO EXPOSE HIM AND THE TACTICS HE USED TO IN HIS QUEST FOR PRESENT CAREER, WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE A BETTER BOOK. WAS V.P. OF COMPANY HE MANIPULATED WHICH WAS SINCE SOLD. IF INTERESTED, ADVISE ON PROCEDURE AND WHOM TO CONTACT. THE GRANDAIGHTER OF FOUNDER AND DAUGHTER OF MALIGNED EVENTUAL PRESIDENT, NOW DECEASED,ONCE CONTACTED ME AND THIS BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY LEFT NOTHING FOR FAMILY. I MAY BE LAST STILL LIVING FORMER V.P. THE MENTALITY AND DEMEANOR OF THIS "CHAIRMAN" SHOULD ASTOUND THE STOCKHOLDERS.

APPRECIATE SUGGESTIONS FOR FOLLOW UP

NOT RETALIATION, ALTHOUGH I DISCOVERED THE MANIPULATIONS AND SWORN COMMENTS OF OTHERS WHERE I WAS SUBJECTED TO "FAILURE" OF GIVISION I FOUNDED AND OPERATED FOR 33 YEARS. EVERYTHING IMPROPER AND MALICIOUS OCCURED INCLUDING MAKING THREATENING CONTACTS TO SUPPLIERS AFTER I LEFT THE COMPANY TO ACCEPT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE INDUSTRY IN WICH I WAS A PIONEER AND REGARDED AS A MAJOR PLAYER AND CREATOR.
