Smart Money editor returns to Barron's

The New York Post’s Keith Kelly also reports that Smart Money editor Fleming Meeks is returning to Barron’s.

Kelly wrote, “Meeks had been a top editor at Barron’s when he was dispatched to be the editor of Smart Money.

“But then four years ago Jonathan Dahl was brought in as Smart Money’s editor- in-chief above Meeks. Many had expected Meeks to exit at that time, but he stayed in place.

“One source said he always chaffed under Dahl’s rule.

“Meeks could not be reached, but Dahl insisted, ‘No, that’s not true at all.’

“Dahl said that Meeks was going back to head up a new electronic newsletter division at Barron’s, which is owned by Dow Jones, the media company being acquired by News Corp., publisher of The Post.”
