Templin departs WSJ after nearly 30 years

Neal Templin

Longtime Wall Street Journal staffer Neal Templin departed the paper on Thursday after nearly 30 years with the publication.

In his own abrupt and typically modest farewell note, he wrote:

I’ve spend (sic) 29 wonderful years here. Thanks.

Neal

In an email to Talking Biz News, Templin said he is looking for another job.

Templin has been leading the New York coverage team of eight reporters since December 2016. He took over the former Greater New York section in June 2016 after serving as deputy standards editor.

He also served as a Page One editor, Dallas Bureau Chief, editor of the Texas Journal and two stints as personal finance editor. He joined the Journal in 1989 as an automotive reporter and later moved to Dallas, where he covered technology and then commercial real estate for the Journal. He also wrote the Cheapskate column.

A Los Angeles native, Templin started his career at the Imperial Valley Press, where he covered agriculture, and then the El Paso Times.
