Lex Fenwick out as CEO of Dow Jones

Lex Fenwick, a former CEO of Bloomberg L.P., is out as CEO of Dow Jones & Co. William Lewis has been named interim CEO, according to an announcement Tuesday by Robert Thomson, the CEO of News Corp, the Dow Jones parent.

News Corp also owns The Post.

A changing strategy for DJX, an information service that has been in beta since last year, appears to be behind Fenwick’s departure.

“We’re reviewing the institutional strategy of Dow Jones with an eye toward changes that will deliver even more value to its customers. As part of that, we’re planning improvements to DJX,” said Thomson.

“We will also be redoubling our efforts to develop The Wall Street Journal and its digital properties globally, which continue to serve the world’s most influential readers with the most authoritative news and analysis,” said Thomson.

Lewis joined News Corp in 2010 as group general manager at News International and was appointed chief creative officer at News Corp by Thomson last year.
