Dow Jones ME for forex, fixed income is leaving

Jenny Paris, the managing editor in charge of forex, fixed income and macroeconomics coverage for DJ FX Trader and Dow Jones Newswires in Europe, the Middle East & Africa, is leaving the company.

In an email to her colleagues on Friday, Paris wrote:

I don’t do well with mass emails and those of you connected with me in social media know that I keep a low profile in public (and that’s probably an understatement.) So, big apologies to those who don’t know me that well and I’m spamming right now.

To the rest of you — and you’re so many — I’d like to say a special thanks on my last day here after nearly two decades. It’s been a great journey that took me on two continents and four countries, covering some fascinating stories and meeting some wonderful people along the ride. And for that I’ll always be grateful.

Paris had been working out of London. She also spent four years as managing editor in charge of corporate coverage in Asia-Pacific, based in Singapore. Before moving to Singapore, she was Dow Jones Newswires’ Thailand bureau chief.

Paris joined Dow Jones in 1993 as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal Europe in her native Greece.

  • Is it not obvious to you that Dow Jones/WSJ is clearly offering buyouts or enacting limited layoffs? Every letter you've run from veteran employees in the past week follows the same pattern: Veteran Djer, no new job in hand, leaving company after idyllic tenure. Anyone who reads between the lines must perceive some sort of pattern here? How many buyouts is News Corp. offering at WSJ/DJ?

  • Oh, it is obvious, Candid Observer. But trying to get anyone at the WSJ/Dow Jones to admit that it is occurring, or to give a specific number, is impossible. That's why I try to document every single one that I hear.
