WSJ.com names deputy personal finance editor

Jonathan Krim, the senior deputy managing editor of WSJ.com, sent out the following announcement on Tuesday morning:

“We are delighted to announce that Jennifer Merritt has been named deputy personal finance editor for the Wall Street Journal Digital Network.

“Jennifer is joining a burgeoning team that will carry us forward in the wake of the acquisition of SmartMoney.com. This group will manage the SmartMoney.com site, WSJ.com’s personal finance pages, and work closely with editors at our other network sites to create the best and most compelling personal finance content and tools anywhere on the Web.

“Jennifer has a deep resume that suits perfectly her new responsibilities. She is leaving a successful run as wsj.com’s careers editor, where she has expertly piloted stories, useful interactive graphics and rankings projects for both online and print. Her efforts helped produce strong readership gains across the board.

“Prior to joining the Journal in 2007, Jennifer spent time at Money magazine, where she oversaw a team of reporters and several special projects/reports, including Best Jobs, Best Places to Live and Best Mutual Funds. She also has worked as business editor of the Florida Times Union, and served time at Business Week and other newspapers.

“Jennifer has several projects currently in the hopper here, so will transition into her new role slowly over the summer.”
