WSJ Plays Musical Chairs

WSJ Bureau Chief Gerald Seib is shaking things up there a bit, reassigning reporters right and left in a mass reshuffling. The details:

• Jackie Calmes “is shifting back to political coverage as national political correspondent, bringing her considerable skill and experience to what promises to be a very interesting and very important campaign this fall.”

• Deb Solomon will move from her state and local government beat to cover economic policy.

• Chris Cooper, who just finished co-writing a book Katrina, will move to cover state and local government.
