How Long Has Gerard Baker Been 'Wall Street Journal' Editor-In-Chief? The GOP Debate Moderator Was Promoted During A Shake-Up.
The fourth Republican presidential debate airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on Fox Business and will be moderated by some of financial news' heavy hitters. The Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief Gerard Baker will be joining the Fox Business personalities Maria Bartiromo and Neil Cavuto as a moderator. Baker has been the editor-in-chief at The Wall Street Journal since 2013. He has been at the paper a bit longer, though: He made his move to the WSJ in 2009; he started off as deputy editor-in-chief and was promoted during a shake-up by Rupert Murdoch at the end of 2012 that saw the News Corp. newspaper and book publishing businesses split off from the larger 21st Century Fox TV and film assets.
Born in Britain, Baker studied philosophy, politics and economics at Corpus Christi College at Oxford. He has also worked as an economist for the Bank of England and Lloyds according to his Wall Street Journal bio. After his stint as an analyst he decided the career wasn't for him and responded to an ad in The Economist for a job in TV. He then started his journalism career at the BBC where he worked as a producer and then as an economics correspondent for TV and radio. After a quick stint in Japan, he started exclusively covering the United States for the British publications The Financial Times and The Times.
