WSJ’s Ostroff becomes data reporter

Caitlin Ostroff

Caitlin Ostroff has been promoted to data reporter at The Wall Street Journal.

Previously, Ostroff covered crypto companies out of New York and European financial markets out of The Journal’s London bureau.

Before coming to The Journal, she worked as a data reporter for the Miami Herald, where she used Python and other programming languages to gather information on elections, medical malpractice and efforts to sell access to President Trump through his Florida residence and club Mar-a-Lago.

Her reporting on the latter led her to co-author the book “The Grifter’s Club: Trump, Mar-a-Lago, and the Selling of the Presidency.” She was named a finalist for the Livingston Award for national reporting.

She is a graduate of the University of Florida, where she majored in journalism and political science.
