RD Recap: WSJ Taps Next Washington Bureau Chief; Layoffs at Time Inc.

Gerald (Jerry) Seib (pictured) will leave his position as Washington bureau chief at The Wall Street Journal in January. He’ll move into the role of executive Washington editor and chief commentator, continuing to write the weekly Capital Journal column, contributing to the Capital Journal Daybreak newsletter and producing commentary on U.S. foreign policy and international relations. “He will of course remain a fixture in the DC bureau and the broader paper, be a source of guidance and friendship and become even more of a Living National Treasure,” wrote WSJ editor in chief Gerard Baker in a memo announcing the change.
