Paul Barrett, Assistant Managing Editor for investigative projects at BusinessWeek, will be "returning to The Wall Street Journal to write on non-business topics for the front page," according an email from Businessweek EIC Stephen Adler. A former WSJ editor himself Adler brought Barrett to the magazine in 2006. Barrett's departure is reversing a trend wherein WSJ staffers, fearful of life under Murdoch jumped ship. Now it seems at least one of them is clamoring to get back on board. [Romenesko]
