WSJ to Go Graphic

Wow. Guess we'll have to stop those jokes about non-existent jobs, like photo editor at the Wall Street Journal. Or standards editor at fill-in-the-blank.
I once worked at a paper that had an editorial employee who, early in his career had supposedly committed small arsons and then called the fire department to be a hero. Despite this, he continued to be employed, at one point, holding down the job of "news media watch coordinator." Meaning he watched TV to alert the editors to news. (Obviously, this goes back a way.) Today, I guess he'd be a blogger.
WSJ will cut width, amongh other changes

The Associated Press
NEW YORK - The Wall Street Journal, whose wide pages and text-rich look have long been an icon of the American newspaper business, is about to undergo several changes that include cutting three inches off its width.

Along with the size reduction, which is equivalent to about one of its columns, the newspaper will add more color and graphical elements, including greater use of photographs. It also will have fewer stories "jump" inside the newspaper.
