Rich Opportunity   

Wall Street Journal Senior Editor Rich Jaroslovsky leaves the paper where he started his career for a job with an investment firm.

Rich Jaroslovsky, the Wall Street Journal's senior editor and its first online managing editor, leaves journalism--and his first paper--for a Wall Street kind of job with New York's Ziff Brothers Investments. "I'm going to be setting up a new unit, basically a research-related unit in the firm, helping gather information about companies they have invested in," he says. "It will be interesting to see the world from a slightly different perspective than I have" at the Journal, says Jaroslovsky, 48. After starting in the Journal's Cleveland bureau after college, Jaroslovsky covered the White House and was national political editor and columnist. Between 1994 and 2001 he oversaw the launch and first years of the Journal's successful Web site, and in 1998 he founded the Online News Association, the first professional organization for online journalists. "It'll feel a little bit strange, but it feels really good," he says of leaving the Dow Jones nest. "I think it'll be a challenge, and I think it'll be fun."
