Wall Street Journal names new deputy MEs

The Wall Street Journal has named three editors to run major news areas and is creating a central desk to further integrate Dow Jones' publications.
According to an internal memo from Editor In Chief Robert Thomson, the new team will be anchored by three deputy managing editors reporting to Thomson. Matt Murray will oversee U.S. corporate and general news; Nikhil Deogun will oversee international bureaus and correspondents; and Mike Williams will preside over a broadened page-one team responsible for investigative reporting, the paper's quirky "A-hed" features and long, page-one stories called "leders."
"The troika, who will become Deputy Managing Editors, will sit close together in what could prosaically be called a 'news hub', thus streamlining commissioning and editing decisions, and giving them a central role in the production and presentation of copy for the paper and the website," Thomson wrote in the internal memo.
