Jennifer Maloney

Jennifer Maloney, deputy corporate bureau chief and retail editor for The Wall Street Journal in New York, is among the layoffs at the publication.

She helps oversee a team of reporters covering consumer brands, retail, manufacturing, transportation and telecom.

Maloney joined the Journal in 2011 as a reporter, covering cultural institutions, books, and the beverage and tobacco industries, before becoming an editor in 2024. She also has been a regular contributor to the paper’s flagship podcast, “The Journal.”

Earlier in her career, she worked as a reporter at Newsday, where she led an investigation of deadly gaps on the Long Island Rail Road that was a finalist for the Pulitzer gold medal for public service. She won an Edward R. Murrow Award for a radio piece she produced for WLRN in Haiti after the country’s 2010 earthquake.
