Dow Jones Special Committee Elects John F. Tefft<\/b><\/p>\n

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nThe Dow Jones Special Committee, established as part of the acquisition of Dow Jones & Co. by News Corp in late 2007, has elected John F. Tefft to succeed Anne W. Patterson, who has retired from the committee after seven years of service.<\/p>\n

\nTefft will serve out Ms. Patterson\u2019s term ending Dec. 31, 2027, at which time he would be eligible for reelection to a five-year term.<\/p>\n

\nA retired diplomat, Tefft completed his service as the U.S. ambassador to the Russian Federation from 2014 to 2017. He earlier served as ambassador to Lithuania, Georgia and Ukraine. He originally retired from the Foreign Service in September 2013 and served as executive director of RAND Corp.\u2019s U.S.-Russia Business Leaders Forum until 2014 when he was recalled to government service as ambassador to the Russian Federation. Following his stint in Moscow, he has rejoined RAND Corp. as a Senior Fellow.<\/p>\n

\nThe five-person Special Committee is an independent body charged with safeguarding the editorial independence of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones, as well as monitoring their adherence to the highest ethical and professional standards. It operates under an agreement between the former owners of Dow Jones and News Corp, and the committee\u2019s approval is required for the appointments of the Journal\u2019s Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Page Editor.<\/p>\n

\nOther members of the committee include chair Thomas J. Bray, secretary Lou Boccardi, Cynthia Glassman and Larry Ingrassia.<\/p>\n
