Stephen J. Adler
Stephen J. Adler (born 1955) is currently the Senior Vice President and Editorial Director of the Professional Division of Thomson Reuters. [1] Adler was the Editor in Chief of BusinessWeek from 2005 to 2009 when he joined Thomson Reuters [2] Previously, Adler was Deputy Managing Editor at The Wall Street Journal from 1988 to 2004 and was Editor of the American Lawyer Magazine from 1983-1988. [3]
Adler, then at The Wall Street Journal, was named in December 2004 to succeed Stephen B. Shepard as editor in chief at BusinessWeek.[4]
Adler was the focus of controversy in April, 2011 after he was accused of being behind the dismissal of David Fox, Reuters' Jakarta bureau chief, for a comment the latter inadvertently wrote in a Reuters only chat-room. Fox, who had worked for Reuters for 20 years, during which time he covered 35 wars for the company, was sacked without leave to appeal after he made a mildly sexual joke to a colleague in what he believed to be a private message. His attempts to have the offending comment removed and to apologise were rejected, causing anger among many journalists. [5] [6] [7]
Adler is married to author Lisa Grunwald.[8] and has collaborated with her on two anthologies. [9]
