WSJ losing its way

The Wall Street Journal has always struck me as a paper that was different from the others. It relied on deep investigative journalism to get to the heart of stories affecting the business world. However, I confess, since Rupert Murdock bought the WSJ, I've been wary that changes would come that would dilute the substance of the paper as I knew it. Others have also mentioned the same fear.

Sadly, this is becoming true... I've been noticing more stories that simply do not fit in the WSJ's mold. The old WSJ was not simply just a business paper. It had its own personality. It was a place that you went to when you wanted to catch up on news in the business world and maybe read the odd story that didn't quite fit in the business category, but somehow you were glad you were able to read it net to news of the next biggest merger.

Will these changes stop? That's unlikely. If anything, they will amplify since the managing editor resigned two days ago. He says it wasn't related to the recent changes in the WSJ, but I believe that him just being polite. Considering Rupert has a vast grip over the areas where he can seek future employment maybe its best to be polite.
