Wall Street Journal publisher Gordon Crovitz will resign after News Corp.'s acquisition of Dow Jones & Co. is complete, the companies said.
Crovitz, who is also executive vice president of Dow Jones and president of its consumer media group, will write a column for the Journal after he departs. He will be replaced by Robert Thomson, currently editor of the Times of London, a News Corp. newspaper. Dow Jones General Counsel Joseph Stern, a board member, also will leave.
