Christine Mai-Duc, a reporter covering state politics, housing and the economy from The Wall Street Journal’s Los Angeles bureau, was among the layoffs on Thursday.
Her stories highlight nation-leading policies and trends in the nation’s most populous state and largest economy, examine the causes and implications of the housing crisis, and provide vignettes of life on the West Coast.
Mai-Duc joined the Journal in 2019 from the Los Angeles Times. During her time there, she was a Gerald Loeb award finalist and was part of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the San Bernardino shooting.
She began her career as an intern in the Los Angeles Times’s Washington, D.C., bureau.
