The Wall Street Journal wants a “substantial number” of newsroom employees to take a buyout, editor-in-chief Gerard Baker announced to his staff in a memo sent to WSJ staff Friday morning. According to Politico, Ed Finn—the president of Barron’s, also owned by WSJ’s parent company, Dow Jones—“apparently meant to forward Baker’s email to Barron’s executives in order to discuss what impact the Journal layoffs might have on forthcoming layoffs (which had not yet been publicly announced) at Barron’s.”
