Marcus Brauchli, managing editor of the Wall Street Journal, plans to leave after only 11 months on the job.  His departure comes a mere 4 months after Murdoch’s take-over of the Journal.  Some speculate that Brauchli tried to find a “middle path” between the paper’s old guard and Murdoch’s new vision, but had trouble doing so.  Many at the Journal feel a loss for his departure because he was the last appointed managing editor under the old Dow Jones ownership.  It is speculated that publisher Robert Thomson may take over Brauchli’s postition as editor.  MediaWeek (April 22, 2008)
