The New Republic
Franklin Foer on the
Dow Jones management upheaval: "The outgoing husband-and-wife-team that ran the place,
Peter Kann and
Karen House, had many shortcomings. ... But they were part of the great Dow Jones tradition of elevating journalists to the corporate suite. [New CEO
Richard] Zannino represents a break with this tradition. In a way, it makes me sad to see the end of this practice. Nobody understands the expense and rhythm of journalism like a journalist. On the other hand, a newspaper needs to make money. Perhaps, Zannino will be able to do this. Since the Journal is a great paper, I hope he can."
