Wall Street Journal reporter Caitlin McCabe sent out the following to colleagues on Tuesday:

After nearly seven years, I’m saying goodbye to the Journal. I’ll be starting a new adventure in a few weeks.

It’s so tough to leave this special newsroom, and I feel endlessly grateful to have spent these years working with and learning from so many of you—truly the best journalists in the business. Thank you to all the colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic who became friends, and to the editors who patiently and expertly guided my stories. I’ll miss it here, and I’ll miss working with all of you.

Please keep in touch! After tomorrow, you can reach me at (email) and (phone).
