New York Times business editor Dean Murphy sent out the following staff announcement on Tuesday afternoon:
We are sorry to announce that Catherine Rampell is leaving The Times to become an op-ed columnist at the Washington Post.
Catherine has been a member of our economics team since 2008, when she joined us from The Chronicle of Higher Education as our online economics editor and chief blogger for Economix. Later, she became a member of New York-based economics reporting team, along with Nelson Schwartz and Shaila Dewan, and has covered a wide range of topics. She played an on-camera role in an early experiment with daily business video, and has also written guest economics columns for The Magazine and Sunday Business (and more than the occasional theater review for Culture).
Catherine has been a generous colleague to many of us on BizDay, always willing to share her expertise and insights. We’ll miss her. We wish her well in her new job, and her new career direction.
Rampell is a Princeton University graduate.
