Murdoch wants to compete with the New York Times
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch plans to compete with the long-established New York Times on its home turf. A local edition of the Wall Street Journal is set to hit newsstands next month in full color.
This was announced by the head of the News Corp media group on Tuesday in New York. Murdoch accused the New York Times of having lost its local focus and contact with its readers. The Wall Street Journal does not want to make this mistake. We will report on everything that makes New York so interesting, he said according to SDA.
A new editorial team is to be set up for the project and new reporters hired, as Murdoch emphasized. However, the entrepreneur did not want to reveal more, except that the new local section will be colorful and very lively.
