Did you have any doubts about the scope and intensity of the changes at the new Dow Jones under Rupert Murdoch’s rule?

Not me.

Well, these words from the new publisher are a clear signal:

“While it’s right to be respectful of the past, these days it’s certainly fatal to be haunted by history,” Mr. Thomson said. “He who stands still will be overrun.”

Bring on the changes!
