Spin on hiring a news editor for WSJ online

In the wake of the shakeup in the Dow Jones corporate boardroom, Wall Street Journal Online is looking for a new news editor.

Here is how one blogger characterized it: “First the management shakeup, now a call for new blood: experienced but deferential to a fault, and able to squeeze more out of cheaper, greener talent—to be molded in the image of the ‘content managers’ who now run the thing. Masochistic cheepness artist wanted—a ‘news editor’ whose job description contains editing the news only as an afterthought.”
