Memo from Marcus Brauchli & Bill Grueskin of The Wall Street Journal


We have decided to merge the NY tech bureau with the Media & Marketing group, and have asked Rich Turner to oversee the newly combined bureau. And, together with Rich, we have asked Peter Grant and Martin Peers to continue as deputy bureau chiefs in this group.

We believe that the combination of these bureaus will make us more flexible and more attuned to the earth-shaking changes in that industry. It will enable us to create or modify beats to more fully reflect how people watch or create video, read news and communicate with each other. For the reporters, we're sure, this will also be a lot of fun.<< MORE >>

Why We Sell So Many NewsBios of Marcus Brauchli and Other WSJ Journalists


Unlike "official" bios and resumes that news organizations and individual reporters provide, NewsBios dossiers include all pertinent public information about the reporters and editors it covers.  Frequently, NewsBios turns up controversies in which the journalists have been involved; prior jobs the journalists would sooner forget; family relationships that might bear on how a journalist views a story; and opinions the journalists have expressed in venues other than their own news organization.
 
Among the most popular profiles sold by NewsBios are those of reporters at The Wall Street Journal and other financial news outlets.  "Companies and PR agencies understand that these journalists hold great sway over how investors and the public at large view them," says Dean Rotbart, NewsBios founder and executive editor.  "With a single story, a reporter making $80,000 a year can impact the market value of a publicly traded company - for better or worse - by  hundreds of millions of dollars.  So you better know with whom you are dealing."

What You Won't Find in Marcus Brauchli's Official Biography


Marcus Walker Brauchli, who becomes managing editor of The Wall Street Journal on May 15, 2007, grew up in the mostly liberal college town of Boulder, Colorado, and is the son of a Boulder attorney who is known nationally as a liberal blogger and columnist.

Brauchli, who goes by Marcus (not Marc) and whose name is pronounced just like the cruciferous vegetable, assumes the helm of a paper whose editorial page is a bastion of American conservative thought – but whose newsroom is more politically heterogeneous.

The day after Brauchli was named to succeed current WSJ Managing Editor, Paul E. Steiger, Brauchli’s appointment was celebrated by the politics and current events blog, Spot-on.com, for which Marcus’ father, Christopher R. Brauchli, is a regular contributor.
