Reuters is reporting that Paul Ingrassia, who was a candidate to become the next managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, plans to leave Dow Jones & Co. after the first of the year, making him the first executive to leave after the News Corp. deal to acquire the company.
Reuters reported, “‘I will be leaving probably after the first of the year,’ Ingrassia said in a brief phone interview. ‘There just didn’t seem to be an appropriate place for me in the company.’
“He also said he did not see ‘any role that really excited me’ at Dow Jones.
“Ingrassia, 57, said the decision was unrelated to Dow Jones’s agreement to sell itself to Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. He would not say what he plans to do after leaving.”
