The Wall Street Journal is expected to hire Washington Post reporter Josh Dawsey, according to Oliver Darcy in his Status newsletter.
Darcy writes, “A spokesperson for The Journal didn’t respond to an inquiry, but Dawsey — who is currently on leave writing a book about the 2024 presidential campaign — will start at the Rupert Murdoch-owned broadsheet in February as a political investigations reporter, according to people familiar with the matter. While brass at The WaPo tried to dissuade Dawsey from departing, the star reporter had already made up his mind, I’m told. He is very unlikely to be the last out the door, either.”
