Transformational Media

Once Rupert Murdoch got his hands on the Wall Street Journal, I knew it wouldn't be long until something like this happened.

...it appears The Journal’s New York section is ready to throw itself into the dirty underbelly of the city’s nightlife!

The Journal has hired Marshall Heyman, a freelancer from Los Angeles who worked at W magazine, to shepherd the new coverage, sources said.

The section is expected to cover parties, nightlife, high society and events, sources said.


The WSJ had already gotten pretty wretched - they did hire Karl Rove after all. Now, it's likely to become nothing more than fish-wrap like Murdoch's other paper the New York Post.

Does anyone actually remember when the WSJ was a reputable news source?

    i never like the WSJ - even when it was owned by Dow Jones - too conservative and too elitist - but it was credible

    with murdoch - you call it a wrapper for fish, i think it picks up dog poo much better than the NY Post
