The Wall Street Journal named Raju Narisetti as the new managing editor of its digital network, with oversight of WSJ.com, SmartMoney.com, MarketWatch and the foreign-language editions of WSJ.com.

The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp. (NWS, NWS.AU, NWSA).

Narisetti oversaw digital content at Washington Post Co.'s (WPO)flagship publication. The move is a return for Narisetti, who started at the Journal in 1994 as a reporter in Pittsburgh and, by 2006, was editor of The Wall Street Journal Europe.

He replaces Kevin Delaney, the former managing editor of WSJ.com, who took a position with the Atlantic Media Co.

"Raju has done remarkable work as the digital czar at the Washington Post, integrating print and online businesses, building a successful website, and developing key relationships with the digerati," said Robert Thomson, editor-in-chief of Dow Jones and managing editor of the Journal.

Narisetti joined the Post in January 2009. Before that, he served as founding editor of India's Mint newspaper, which has an exclusive agreement to publish Journal-branded content in India.
