Possible disposal of Page One staff at WSJ

Gawker.com reports that the Wall Street Journal is looking to make more changes at the paper.
The Page One staff may be condensing with the news desk, creating less hierarchy for WSJ employees, such as Page One editor, Mike Williams. The change would be the newest of a line of changes, new editor Rupert Thompson has brought to the paper.
Gawker.com received this email stating:
"Watch for announcement today or soon that page one staff - what used to be the backbone of the WSJ and its strong features - will be merged with news desk and current editor Mike Williams will be roving feats editor; that nik deogun will move up to run foreign and become a
