An editor at the Journal said to quit
Marcus Brauchli is quitting as managing editor of the Wall Street Journal after less than a year on the job, a person familiar with the matter said late Monday.
Brauchli’s departure, first reported on Time magazine’s website, comes four months after the Journal’s parent company, Dow Jones & Co., was acquired by Rupert Murdoch’s media conglomerate, News Corp.
The person familiar with the situation, who asked not to be named because the decision had not yet been made public, said Brauchli was expected to stay with the company in a yet-to-be-determined role.
Wall Street Journal spokesman Robert Christie declined to comment, as did News Corp. spokeswoman Teri Everett.
Time said the departure could be announced as early as today.
