David Enrich, investigations editor on the business desk of the New York Times, is moving to the newspaper’s investigations team.
Investigations editor Kirsten Danis writes:
David Enrich is moving just around the corner from Business after an exceptionally impressive run as the department’s investigations editor. He will be leading a group of reporters while also continuing to work on his own reporting projects.
David is a reporter’s editor, a partner who will help strategize about sources, puzzle out framing and field pushback from critics. He aims high and cuts through noise, editing with a relentless focus on clear and taut prose. Some of the work edited by David has anticipated the dangers of our increasingly crowded airspace, revealed the secret fees and opaque practices of pharmacy benefit managers and exposed the very profit-seeking behavior of nonprofit hospitals (one of many series that he co-edited with Ginny Hughes).
“His enthusiasm and excitement about stories is infectious, and he knows how important it is to have fun in the process,” said Jessica Silver-Greenberg. “He understands the healing properties of whiskey and the occasional fancy lunch.”
After covering Washington for local newspapers, David spent a dozen years as a reporter and editor at Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal, where he was part of teams that were Pulitzer finalists twice and won Polk and Loeb awards. He joined The Times in 2017 as finance editor before becoming the Business desk’s investigations editor in 2020.
David is also a New York Times bestselling author of four books, including “Murder the Truth,” which comes out this month.
