The Wall Street Journal Europe in Bed with Circulation Booster

In the wake of the News of the World phone hacking saga, News Corp. appears to be serious about cleaning up its act.

Andrew Langhoff, publisher of The Wall Street Journal Europe, resigned yesterday after an internal inquiry revealed that Journal editorial content could have been influenced by a business-side relationship, reports the New York Times.

Road Rage

Don't stop us now, we're having such a good time, we're having a ball.

Bicycle Backlash Over, Says, Uh… The Journal?

For the past year or so, The Observer, along with the rest of the press corps, has been chronicling the city's, and the press corps', reaction to our burgeoning bicycle culture.

Immaterial Nonpublic Information

Raj Rajaratnam's defense team would like you to forget about all those phone calls and offshore accounts and millionaires and focus on the real injustice: a reporter has used some anonymous (or, if you will, "concealed") sources.

Raj Raj's publicity squad has declared an unlikely war against Susan Pulliam, ace investigative reporter at the Wall Street Read More

Mario Vargas Llosa, Today’s Nobel Lit Winner, Can Now Be Taken Seriously By Jordanian Border Patrols

The Swedish Academy announced this morning that Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa will be the 2010 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
