WSJ/Dow Jones names Canada deputy bureau chief

Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Canada bureau chief Chip Cummins sent out the following announcement on Thursday:

I am pleased to announce that Carolyn King will take on the role of deputy bureau chief in the newly integrated Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Newswires bureau in Canada.

Carolyn, who is currently a news editor in Toronto, will help direct coverage and shepherd real-time content for all the platforms the bureau serves. The combination of the WSJ and Newswires staffs earlier this year has created a team of more than a dozen reporters–spread across the country –covering everything from Canada’s vast resources and acquisitive banks and pension funds to its global corporate players, including Research in Motion and Bombardier.

Carolyn joined the Toronto bureau in 1992, where she’s worked ever since, most recently managing the Newswires’ news and copy desk in Toronto. She was born in Montreal and holds a Bachelors degree from the University of Saskatchewan and a Masters in international studies from the University of Southern California.

Carolyn will report to me and will continue to manage Dow Jones Canada’s news and copy desks. Please join me in wishing her well in her new role.
