Dow Jones to merge Middle East operations

Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal have combined their Middle East editorial operations, with two senior executives appointed to oversee news output in the region.

Marcus Wright, previously a senior editor for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region at Dow Jones Newswires in London, has been named the new venture's Middle East editor.

He will oversee the editorial teams at several bureaus in the region, as well as managing Dow Jones Newswires' regional partnership with the Zawya news service. Bill Spindle has been named as the Middle East bureau chief. Mr Spindle previously worked at The Wall Street Journal before moving to Abu Dhabi three years ago to help launch The National.
