The Wall Street Journal has named Patience Wheatcroft as editor-in-chief of its European operations, the newspaper reported on June 17, 2009:

"The Wall Street Journal appointed financial journalist Patience Wheatcroft as editor-in-chief of its European print and online editions based in London, where she will head up a growth push across the continent, particularly of digital content.

The news comes days after the company announced new editorial leaders in Asia and at WSJ.com.

"We have a world-class reporting presence in Europe and an unrivaled international business news franchise," said Wall Street Journal Managing Editor Robert Thomson. "The combination of these assets and Patience's extensive experience in media and business will make the Journal a formidable force in Europe."

Ms. Wheatcroft, who will report to Mr. Thomson, resigned as a Barclays PLC director as part of her hiring. She was editor of the U.K.'s Sunday Telegraph from 2006 to 2007 and prior to that served as business and city editor of the Times of London for nearly a decade. The Times, like the Journal, is owned by News Corp."
