The New York Times has hired Wall Street Journal reporter Justin Scheck for its international investigations team.
In his 15 years with the Journal, Scheck has been based in London, New York and most recently San Francisco, where he was part of the paper’s Polk-award-winning coverage of Facebook.
Scheck was part of a team of Journal reporters that exposed the inner workings of Amazon’s third-party marketplace. The multimedia investigation tracked Amazon goods to dozens of dangerous Bangladeshi factories that had been shunned by the world’s leading retailers. The project was a Pulitzer finalist for investigative reporting and received an Emmy nomination.
Before joining the Journal in 2007, he covered federal courts and plaintiff lawyers for a legal newspaper.
A graduate of Bates College, he is the co-author of “Blood and Oil,” a book about Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.
