Asia digital editor Najberg leaving WSJ

Adam Najberg, the digital editor for the Wall Street Journal in Asia, has resigned and will be leaving at the end of the month.

Najberg has been with the company for 21 years. In an email, Najberg told Talking Biz News that he’s taking a communications role at a Shenzen company.

In his most-recent role at the Journal, Najberg oversaw digital growth for the paper’s English-language and local-language sites, blogs, translation services and videos in Asia.

That was his second stint in Hong Kong, where he started his career with Dow Jones in 1994, serving as reporter and bureau chief for the Dow Jones Newswires. In 1999, he moved to Germany and served in several roles, including managing editor of Money & Economics. He moved back home to the U.S. in 2006, joining the Journal as operations editor for its website and then started up video operations.

He returned to Asia in 2010, helping launch editions in Korean and Bahasa Indonesia, in addition to building up and revamping other sites and digital properties in China, Japan and around the region.

Najberg, a graduate of Bowdoin College, has also been teaching at the University of Hong Kong.
