Kevin Delaney, the managing editor of The Wall Street Journal‘s Web site, sent out the following announcement to the staff:
A quick note to let you know that Jonathan Krim will shortly start a 12-month assignment working with MarketWatch Editor Dave Callaway on a special growth initiative at our sister site.
Among other things Jonathan brings to this assignment is his experience as executive editor of TheStreet.com, where he oversaw the financial site’s newsroom and efforts in areas including blogs.
Jonathan will hand off part of his WSJ.com responsibilities in the coming weeks so he can focus on the MarketWatch effort. Effective right away, I’ll take over Jonathan’s shared responsibility for SmartMoney.com with SmartMoney magazine Editor in Chief Jonathan Dahl. SmartMoney.com Editor Janet Paskin will report jointly to me and Jonathan Dahl.
Our expectation is that Jonathan Krim’s work will benefit in the end not only MarketWatch but the entire WSJ Digital Network. I ask you to lend him your support and ideas.
Krim has been senior deputy managing editor at WSJ.com for the past year. Before that, he was local innovations editor at the Washington Post.
