Browning launches new WSJ column

Francesco Guerrera, the money & investing editor for The Wall Street Journal, posted the following announcement online on Thursday:

Today we’re excited to present the firs installment of a regular online column by one of the most distinguished voices in financial journalism, E.S. “Jim” Browning.

Jim’s column will provide MoneyBeat readers with a fresh take on market news, investing themes and financial analysis. It will offer insights from the investors and observers whose views you must know, placing developments in the broad context that only Jim can provide.

Few can match Jim’s depth and breadth of experience. He joined The Asian Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong in 1979. He was named Tokyo bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal in December 1983 and moved to Paris in 1986 as bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal Europe. Jim began writing for Money & Investing in February 1995 and has led our stock-market coverage.

Jim won an Overseas Press Club award for articles about U.S.-Japan trade tensions. He was one of a group of Journal reporters who were finalists for a 2009 Pulitzer Prize and who won the Institute for Political Journalism’s 2009 Excellence in Economics Reporting Award, for articles on the financial crisis. He has twice been a finalist for a Gerald Loeb Award.

Please join me in welcoming Jim to MoneyBeat and please let me know your thoughts.
