Michael Calderone of Politico reports that some Wall Street Journal staffers are concerned about the increasing amount of their copy running in the tabloid New York Post. Both papers are now owned by News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch.
Calderone writes, “Journal staffers told Politico that there’s uneasiness in the newsroom over the decision. If this becomes common practice, Journal stories could be published in the tabloid with Post headlines and graphics, or vice versa. Not to mention story subjects who agree to an interview with one paper might not be aware of it running in another that day.
“And with Journal staffers moving to News Corp.’s midtown headquarters next year, some said they expect even more synergy between the two papers.
“Co-written by Money & Investing editor Ken Brown and reporter David Enrich, the story on Citigroup featured an exclusive interview with senior counselor and director Robert Rubin.
“The piece ran on A1 of Saturday’s Journal, and in a two-page spread on pages 18 and 19 in the Post. The Post byline on top did not indicate the reporters were from the Journal, but ‘The Wall Street Journal’ was included at the bottom — similar to when wire copy is used.”
