New York Times media reporter Katherine Seelye noted in Monday’s paper that the Wall Street Journal recently had a familiar byline — that of former publisher Karen Elliott House.
Seelye wrote, “Paul E. Steiger, The Journal’s managing editor, said that she had proposed writing the news article.
“‘Karen, in the past, has spent a lot of time in Saudi Arabia, and she suggested that she might poke around there again,’ he said. ‘I was delighted at the notion.’ He said that she had kept up her contacts in the Middle East from her time as a reporter.
“Dow Jones announced last month that Ms. House would be receiving a stock bonus — worth about $459,000 — based on the company’s performance during two periods, both ending in December.
“Executives at Dow Jones said that The Journal was paying her travel expenses to Saudi Arabia, but was not paying her for the article.”
