Can we please stop pretending that the new WSJ bears any resemblance to the old one?
The top WSJ editor already "resigned" shortly after the acquisition and the shift in content is completely unmistakable.

Why do we still give so much weight to the brand even when we know that the management is completely new?
- albertsun 17y agoBecause almost all the reporters and lower level editors remain the same and they're the ones with the greatest impact on the product?
- mustpax 17y agoDepends what sort of impact we are talking about. Lower level staff cannot make decisions on what stories to follow, where and when the stories are run and under which headlines, or the general editorial bent of the paper. The tone and the quality of the copy writing at WSJ remains impeccable, the content, not so much.
