New biz editor of London Times named

Financial Times journalist James Harding has been named as the new business editor of The Times, replacing Patience Wheatcroft, who last week started as editor of the Sunday Telegraph, according to media reports out of London on Friday afternoon.

Harding previously worked closely with Times editor Robert Thomson, who himself came from the FT. Harding was Washington bureau chief for the FT from 2002 to 2005, media editor from 1999 to 2002 and opened the paper’s Shanghai bureau in 1996.
