Wall Street Journal managing editor Gerard Baker sent out the following announcement on Monday afternoon:
I’m delighted to announce that Glenn Hall is appointed MarketWatch Editor.
Glenn is exceptionally well qualified for the position. He is an entrepreneurial journalist with a rich history in real-time financial markets and business coverage.

During his time there, he helped nearly triple the audience to almost 18 million unique monthly visitors in August. Before that, Glenn worked at TheStreet for four years, rising to become its Editor-in-Chief.
He also worked for The Orange County Register as Chief Innovation Officer and Deputy Editor. He spent a decade with Bloomberg News, where he led the political and government coverage in Washington, D.C. and held various team leader positions. He was Bloomberg’s Amsterdam bureau chief and deputy bureau chief in Frankfurt, where he started as a reporter. He began his career as a reporter at the Journal-Gazette in Indiana, covering business, health and environmental issues.
Glenn will be based in New York and report to Almar Latour, Executive Editor.
Please join me in wishing Glenn great success in his exciting new assignment.
