Photo editor Craig has left the WSJ

Matthew Craig, the Page One photo editor of The Wall Street Journal, has left the business newspaper.

In an email to his colleagues Friday afternoon, Craig wrote:

I walked in the door five years ago with a lot to learn and no idea what would be in store for me at The Wall Street Journal. At one point or another you have all taken a chance on a young guy from California and I hope I met or exceeded your expectations.

This was the greatest first job in the long history of first jobs. Thanks for the incredible opportunity and I wish everyone the very best.

Craig had been with the paper for slightly more than five years. A Boston University graduate, Craig worked as a staff photographer at Harvard University while in college.
