A tip of the hat to Joseph Schuman, who has written the "Morning Brief" column for
The Wall Street Journal subscribers for four years. He deftly covered an eclectic swath of world news, and
also had an eye for breaking marketing and media news in trades such as
Ad Age and
Variety. (He alerted me to, I admit, the above story on NASCAR a full 11 minutes before I would have
found it myself.)
Schuman will be taking on a new assignment, newsletter subscribers are told this morning. "In place of the column, readers will now get a real-time roundup of the
Journal's reporting a little bit later in the morning to include the latest economic, world and business news that sets the agenda each day." Sounds to me like a big net loss to readers, and a
blow to roundup writers everywhere.
