I'm delighted to announce the Dow Jones Leadership Institute as well as welcome Alan Murray back to Dow Jones to lead this exciting new initiative. As I told Axios' Sara Fischer, "networks are built over time and with the right level of expertise and care. So that's how we're going to go about this. And I don't think there's anyone better than Alan to lead that." Read more from Axios here: 

Today, I am joining Dow Jones to build a new leadership institute.  It’s a homecoming for me, having spent close to a quarter century at The Wall Street Journal earlier in my career.  And it’s a dream assignment. In recent years, I’ve led numerous CEO roundtables on technology transformation.  And each time, I’ve noticed a pattern.  While the conversation always begins with technology, it quickly morphs to people. The CEOs want to talk about how to get their teams to adapt new technology rather than resist it; to embrace change rather than fear it; to learn new ways of working rather than staying stuck in the old. The biggest challenge they all face, it turns out, is not technology.  It’s a challenge of leadership. That should be no surprise.  We live at a time of unprecedented transformation in business.  Whether it’s the head-spinning advances of AI, the relentless imperative of the energy transition, the geopolitical mandate for supply chain reinvention, or the post-pandemic overhaul of office work, every company of any size is being roiled by at least one business revolution – if not two, three or four at the same time.  Transformation has become the norm. Yet as business transforms, leadership struggles to catch up. Many leadership principles forged during the 20th century make little sense in the 21st. The best business leaders understand this, because they live it daily.  They hunger for insights, support and guidance along the way.  They want to share their learnings with peers, stay current on the latest developments, pass lessons to their teams, and educate the next generation. As Microsoft’s Satya Nadella put it, these companies and their leaders know that to succeed today, they must become relentless “learn-it-alls,” not recalcitrant “know-it-alls.” The Dow Jones Leadership Institute will be dedicated to supporting leaders in that effort. We’ll rely heavily on peer-learning communities — starting with those that already exist at Dow Jones: The Wall Street Journal CEO Council, and the CFO, CMO, CIO and CCO networks. We will leverage the unmatched global assets of the world’s leading business news and information company to help today’s executives master the rapid changes and evolving challenges they must face. Dow Jones CEO Almar Latour has set an ambitious goal for this effort:  to create the world’s premier business leadership institute, providing information, insights, coaching and communities to meet the unique leadership demands of our time. That’s quite a challenge, but one I’m proud to take on.

Today we announced the creation of the Dow Jones Leadership Institute, a new commercial venture focused on executive learning and leadership, and developed to meet the rapidly evolving needs of today’s business leaders, led by Alan Murray, former CEO of Fortune Media as its president. Alan previously spent more than two decades at The Wall Street Journal, holding various leadership positions. “Our ambition is to ultimately create the world’s premier leadership institute... [and] Alan is uniquely equipped to lead the new Institute,” Dow Jones CEO and Wall Street Journal Publisher Almar Latour said, citing Alan’s success during his time at Fortune. “The Dow Jones Leadership Institute will tap into the resources of the world’s leading business news and information company as well as the experience and knowledge of today’s best business leaders to help light the path forward,” Alan said.

I’m still pinching myself at the fact that I recently wrapped up an internship on the publishing desk at The Wall Street Journal. As the summer wraps up, I want to thank everyone at the Dow Jones News Fund and WSJ who made my summer so wonderful. The weeklong DJNF editing training in Austin, Texas, prepared me to go off to NYC and connected me with people who became genuine friends. At the Journal, the entire publishing desk — especially my boss, Lora Western — welcomed me and generously answered my (many) questions, from WSJ style to insider tips about where to go in New York on the weekends. I was a first-round editor on more than 30 stories, coordinating with the extremely talented reporters and editors across the newsroom to make sure each piece lived up to the Journal’s ambitious standards for factual correctness, style and clarity. A true highlight of the summer was working on the live blog after Evan was released — I will never forget being a small part of the incredible newsroom effort and atmosphere that day. If I named every person who made this summer wonderful this post would be far too long, but I do want to thank my mentor, Caitlin Ostroff. She is an incredibly supportive, talented and genuinely kind person. I owe her a lot. Michelle Higgins spent countless hours coordinating our internship program and trainings on the history of WSJ, fact-checking, finding stories, video journalism and more — thank you. I’m now back in Athens for my final year of my master’s program in journalism. This year I am a TA in the inimitable Keith Herndon, Ph.D.’s JOUR 3030 class, and I’m looking forward to soaking up the rest of my time in the Classic City.

It's hard to believe I spent my summer with the amazing audio desk at The Wall Street Journal. First things first. I want to thank Aisha Al-Muslim and Scott Saloway for giving me the opportunity to join their team. It was incredible learning from the best and giving back to the group who was kind enough to welcome me. For ten weeks I rotated through different podcasts in the WSJ network: What's News PM, Tech News Briefing and Your Money Briefing. Each show had its own production challenges that were a joy to face. Speaking of challenges, I did something new to me: an audio miniseries. "Gen Z & the Debt Trap" is a three-part series that explores why Gen Z is accumulating debt faster than any other generation. I pitched the idea and worked day in and out to produce this story. It was daunting but I'm proud to have taken the risk on a project of this scope. As far as I'm aware, I became the first intern to do a miniseries. None of this could've happened without the guidance of Ariana Aspuru who has shown me every day what an audio producer should be: passionate, innovative and kind. She inspired me every day to give it my all and to never be afraid of trying new things. In fact, she recommended I present the pitch as a miniseries. Taking the first step is always the hardest, but she helped me land the jump. The Journal's audio team is filled with so many brilliant minds and outstanding personalities that I could probably write a book about them. I hope to one day see everyone again. It's my last year at the Missouri School of Journalism, but I'm incredibly excited to use every skill I've learned to make the most of being a senior. In the meantime, if you want to listen to my series click below or listen to "Gen Z & the Debt Trap" on Your Money Briefing, which is available anywhere you listen to podcasts! https://lnkd.in/ehg_nYby A special thank you to Jess Fenton and Michael LaValle. They're exceptional audio engineers and artists. Their sound mixing made this show come to life. It's an emotional moment to listen to your fully produced episode for the first time and I'm grateful to them for such an important life milestone. I'm excited to write to you all soon. Thank you for sticking with me. Who knows what adventures await us next!

"My first suggestion would be to listen to the data, listen to the customers and I think that will open up and unlock a lot of missed opportunities." In today's episode of Kantar's Future Proof podcast, Dow Jones Global Chief Revenue Officer Josh Stinchcomb sat down with host Jane Ostler to discuss the dynamics at play in media. With brand safety and ROI top of mind for every CMO, Josh argues for a data-led approach to media planning, calling on marketers to invest in trusted news platforms and practice caution with their blocklists.
