Saying goodbye to a colleague

The Wall Street Journal staff said goodbye Friday to staff writer and columnist Kelly Evans, who joins CNBC this week, with a newspaper tradition — the fake front page.

A Journal spokeswoman says that a number of people will be trying out to replace Evans as anchor on the paper’s online video show in the morning.
