The move to Singapore, which involves layoffs of staff in Hong Kong, mirrors similar shifts by numerous corporations in the region.

SINGAPORE: In a significant restructuring move, The Wall Street Journal announced on Thursday a major reorganization of its Asian operations, involving both structural and geographic changes. As part of this reorganization, the center of the Journal’s regional coverage will move from Hong Kong to Singapore, a decision that mirrors similar shifts by numerous corporations in the region.

According to Ms Tucker, the reorganization aims to streamline business, finance, and economics coverage, bringing together previously separate teams under a single unified group. This move is expected to strengthen the Journal’s focus on key business stories emerging from Asia. This shift means that some employees, predominantly those based in Hong Kong, will be leaving the Journal.

Despite the changes, the WSJ reaffirmed its commitment to delivering ambitious and agenda-setting journalism out of Asia.
