WSJ Closing Boston Bureau

Our sister blog MediaJobsDaily broke the news that The Wall Street Journal announced today plans to its Boston bureau. Nine positions will be eliminated.

The “unthinkable” closure is a response to the “profound economic downturn,” according to a memo sent by editor in chief Robert Thomson.

Thomson also wrote that “there are no plans, nascent or otherwise, to close any other U.S. or international bureau.”

The Boston bureau was led by Gary Putka, who has been at the Journal since at least 1986.
