Wall Street Journal reporter Anne Steele is now covering the media and entertainment beat, with a focus on podcasting and the powers in new media.

She previously was its music industry reporter.

She has been with the Journal since 2015, writing on a wide variety of topics on the real-time desk, including drug-pricing controversies, the auto industry and the retail sector’s woes, to name a few. She previously worked as an intern at the Journal’s Detroit bureau and at the Tampa Bay Times.
