Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher launch Re/code news site, Code Conference series

After several months of rumors and a year-long, relatively public negotiation with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp over the fate of All Things D and its associated writers and editors, Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg have found a home, dubbed Re/code. Swisher and Mossberg will also be continuing their successful conference business under the "Code Conference" moniker, and will kick off the first event in May of this year. It's a major change for Mossberg and Swisher, having been a longstanding part of the Wall Street Journal family. The current staff totals 23 employees, including respected reporters such as Ina Fried, Arik Hesseldahl, Peter Kafka, and Liz Gannes.
