Deborah Solomon has an expanded job at the New York Times leading a combined U.S. economy team that spans New York and Washington, instead of just the DC policy side of the economics team.
Solomon joined the Times in 2017 as economics editor.
From 2000 to 2015, she was at The Wall Street Journal, where she oversaw the financial regulatory and law enforcement teams as a news editor in the paper’s Washington bureau. As a reporter, Deborah led The Journal’s coverage of Washington’s response to the 2008 financial crisis and was a finalist, along with several colleagues, for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize. She was also part of a team that won the 2009 Gerald Loeb Award for “The Day That Changed Wall Street.”
In 2003, Solomon was a member of a team of Wall Street Journal reporters awarded the Pulitzer Prize in explanatory reporting for the paper’s coverage of the WorldCom scandal, as well as a 2003 Gerald Loeb Award.
Solomon has worked at a range of media outlets, including Bloomberg View, USA Today and the San Francisco Chronicle.
