WSJ's Thomson: We've been extraordinary

Robert Thomson, the managing editor of The Wall Street Journal and editor in chief of Dow Jones & Co., sent a note to the company’s journalists on Wednesday lauding them for their work in covering the economic crisis.

Fishbowl DC Patrick Gavin posted the memo on Wednesday.

It read: “Dear All, the financial crisis coverage across the Newswires, the newspaper, wsj.com and Marketwatch has been extraordinary in its breadth and quality. Sales of the paper are surging, we have just had a record month for both wsj.com (21.7 million visitors) and Marketwatch (13.8 million visitors), and the Newswires coverage has provided a global, scoop-laden narrative of the unfolding drama.

“Many, many people have worked extremely long hours for the cause and those efforts are being rewarded with an audience whose size and reach is unprecedented in the history of Dow Jones and of business journalism.”
