Forbes editor: WSJ newsroom may see cutbacks
Former WSJ newsie--and current Forbes Managing Editor Dennis Neil--had some pointed comments on NPR's American Public Media show yesterday (July 17). In light of Rupert Murdoch's bid to acquire the venerable publication, Dennis told host Kai Ryssdal that Murdoch would be wise to make three quick moves: cut the 500-person newsroom to 400, halt production of the Saturday edition, and abandon the poorly performing WSJ European edition.
Personally, I think the Saturday edition is a great read, but biz is biz, right?
