In his first visit to the Wall Street Journal’s D.C. bureau, new owner Rupert Murdoch told staffers that he would put more resources into Washington coverage and take on the New York Times. "It was a great meeting," the paper's Washington editor told Politico's Michael Calderone. "Everyone left feeling happy."
According to staffers present, the meeting with Murdoch was a striking departure from Sam Zell’s recent tumultuous stop in the Tribune’s D.C. bureau. Regardless of Murdoch’s reputation, he made clear that more money would be allocated for Washington and political coverage, a stark contrast from his billionaire competitor Zell, who wants to slash the LA Times staff in D.C.
Of course, Zell gets his news from the WSJ, not his own LAT.
