Dow Jones names news editor for resources

TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE

Anna Raff, assistant managing editor for commodities and energy markets at Dow Jones Newswires, sent out the following announcement on Monday:

“I’m pleased to announce that Brian Baskin has been promoted to the position of News Editor on the Resources team and will oversee energy-markets coverage. Brian has covered oil markets and the energy sector since joining Dow Jones Newswires’s Houston bureau in July 2006. Most recently, he’s been part of the combined Newswires-WSJ reporting team covering the BP oil spill. As a reporter, he’s distinguished himself by breaking news on a number of fronts: Brian has highlighted the flaws in U.S. government oil data, probed the implications of commodities futures markets regulation and explained how the bankruptcy of a little-known trading firm moved oil markets.

“Before coming to Dow Jones, Brian covered health care for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. He’s a graduate of Brown University, where he majored in history and political science.

“He will continue to be based in New York and will report to me.”
