Alan Murray, currently CNBC's Washington bureau chief and co-anchor of "Capital Report with Alan Murray and Gloria Borger," will return to
The Wall Street Journal as an assistant managing
editor starting in January. Murray will launch a new, twice-a-week column on business, economics, and public policy, while continuing as a regular contributor to CNBC as a representative of the
Journal. As a result of this move, Murray will discontinue writing the Journal's weekly "Political Capital" column at the end of this year.
Before joining CNBC in February
2002, Mr. Murray served for nearly a decade as the Washington bureau chief.
