Shared content causes "uneasiness" in WSJ newsroom

Politico reports there is growing tension between The Wall Street Journal and  the New York Post over shared content. Both publications are owned by News Corp. which has resulted in a "synergy" as the papers share an increasing amount of stories.

 On Nov. 29 the same story about Citigroup that featured an "exclusive interview" with Robert Rubin, senior counselor and director,  ran in both newspapers. While the story was co-written by WSJ's "Money & Investing" editor Ken Brown and reporter David Enrich, the byline in the Post "did not indicate the reporters were from the Journal." Making matters worse, the reporters were never told the story would run in both papers. 

Despite the controversy, WSJ staffers say they expect even more "synergy" in the very near future.
