Ben Rooney, the technology editor for The Wall Street Journal Europe, is leaving the news organization.
In an email to his colleagues on Friday, Rooney wrote:
Today is my last day at The Wall Street Journal. To continue my Sound of Music theme as Maria so sagaciously put it: “When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window” (the Lord clearly never worked in crime prevention). I am off to a new venture.
It has been an amazing three years working at what is unquestionably the world’s greatest newspaper and I have loved the opportunities it has afforded — from interviewing presidents and prime ministers, to having a 3D rendering of my face in tomato ketchup. There aren’t many who can say that.
My email address is ben.rooney62@gmail.com unless I owe you money in which case that one doesn’t work.
Rooney had been with The Journal since 2010. Before that, he was a freelancer.
