Australian biz reporter joins WSJ on temporary basis

Susannah Moran, a well-known business journalist in Australia, is now working temporary for The Wall Street Journal.

Moran is a senior business journalist at The Australian, a newspaper owned by News Corp., which is also the parent of The Journal, a spokeswoman confirmed to Talking Biz News on Monday.

She has been “seconded” to The Journal for three months as part of an exchange program sponsored by News Corp.

Moran was named Business Journalist of the Year in Australia in 2010. Moran impressed judges with the “tenacity and patience with which she unravelled complex issues into readable exclusives. Her series of revelations about the tax fight over the Myer millions was the result of forensic investigation and patient footslogging.”
