Steiger: so far WSJ fears unfounded

In Portfolio's Mixed Media blog, Jeff Bercovici points out that, "the last managing editor of The Wall Street Journal not to work for Rupert Murdoch has nothing but nice things to say about what the News Corp. chief has done with the paper in the eight months since he bought it. Well, almost nothing but nice things."

"I think, as a reader, that the Journal is doing a terrific job," said Paul Steiger, who was responding to a question from the audience during last night's panel discussion on nonprofit journalism, hosted by Northwestern University's Medill Club. "I see no evidence, nor do my friends there report any evidence, of the bad Rupert showing up, trying to move the coverage in a way that advances his business interests. So, to me, my fears haven't been realized."
