By: Joe Strupp The Wall Street Journal today appointed two members of its editorial board to key editing positions.
Bret Stephens has been appointed deputy editorial page editor for the international opinion pages, effective immediately. Brian Carney has been named editorial page editor of The Wall Street Journal Europe, a role in which he previously served from 2004 to 2005.
"Brian and Bret bring years of experience to their coverage of
international economics, finance and politics," Journal Editorial Page Editor Paul Gigot said in a statement. "They also share the Journal's philosophy on the importance of promoting free markets and democratic values, which offers readers a contrast to the general media consensus that supports larger government, higher taxes, and more regulation of the global economy."
Stephens has served as a member of the editorial board since 2004 and took over the Global View column, focusing on international affairs, in 2006. He won the Eric Breindel award in 2008 for his columns.
Carney has served as a member of the editorial board since 2005, based in New York, and has written on financial markets and business. He joined the Journal in 2000 as an editorial writer in Brussels before becoming editorial page editor of The Wall Street Journal Europe.
