Lessons learned from official New York Times Rupert Murdoch beat reporter Richard Perez-Pena‘s piece on the demoralized employees of the Wall Street Journal:
- “Newsroom employees answered phones with “News Corporation” and mimicked Mr. Murdoch’s Australian accent.”
- Retiring Dow Jones exec Peter Kann compared the Journal to “a citidel trying to repel an invasion by tabloid barbarians.”
- Dissident Bancroft family member Leslie Hill is the editorial staff’s great anti-Murdoch hope.
- According to a WSJ reporter, the newspaper’s “culture of passion for the truth” will be caput under Murdoch — and nearly the whole staff feels that way.
