The Times' US editor Gerard Baker is to become deputy editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones, effective January 2009.
Baker will make the move to New York from Washington, where he currently edits the Times' US edition and website, to report to Robert Thomson, editor-in-chief of Dow Jones and managing editor of The Wall Street Journal.
The company is "accelerating" its development as a national paper, Thomson said, and brought Baker in to "spearhead" the project.
