By: Joe Strupp The Wall Street Journal's popular Capital Journal column, which has not run since 2004, will return on Tuesday and will again be written by Gerald Seib, Washington executive editor.
"Mr. Seib began the Capital Journal column on March 10, 1993, and did it on a weekly basis until he was named Washington Bureau chief nine years later" the paper stated in a release. He continued to write the column "sporadically between 2002 and 2004, before it ended after the 2004 elections.
?Capital Journal?s mission will be to explain to readers, clearly and concisely, what is happening, what it means, and what comes next, in the worlds of both politics and national security,? Seib said in a statement. ?The goal is to cast an analytical and experienced eye on Washington, to bring new information and insights to the table though independent and fresh reporting, and to help readers feel they understand the forces behind the sometimes baffling twists in Washington and capitals around the world.?
Seib joined the Journal's Dallas bureau as a reporter in 1978. He moved to the Washington bureau in 1980 and covered the Pentagon and the State Department. In 1984, he and his wife, Journal reporter Barbara Rosewicz, were transferred to Cairo to cover the Middle East. They returned to the Washington bureau in 1987, where he has covered the White House and reported on diplomacy and foreign policy, the paper said. In December 1992, Seib became a news editor responsible for the Journal's national political coverage from Washington and nationwide.
