Media: "Trumpian" Baker Skips Wall Street Journal for FOX Business

Matt Murray was named editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires, succeeding Gerard Baker, who is moving to a new position after 5½ years," per Bloomberg: "Baker will become editor at large and host a television program on Fox Business Network ... He’ll also host conferences for the newspaper." "Murray, an executive editor at the Journal, ... has been with the company since 1994." The Journal's parent, News Corp., "is controlled by Rupert Murdoch and his family, which holds a 39 percent voting stake." Why it matters, from Adweek: "Baker’s time in his position at the Journal had been questioned after reported frustration from the newsroom over his perceived criticism of the company’s coverage of President Trump."
