Walt Mossberg will end his two-decade tenure as the Wall Street Journal’s personal-technology columnist after failing to reach a deal to keep managing the All Things Digital conference and website.

Mossberg and journalist Kara Swisher, who both led the AllThingsD events and news outlet owned by Dow Jones & Co., won’t renew their contracts when they expire by the end of this year, according to a statement. In their absence, Dow Jones said it will expand its technology coverage and conference business.
