Dow Jones Newswires deputy managing editor George Stahl sent out the following announcement on Wednesday:
I’m pleased to announce that Lauren Pollock has been named to oversee Dow Jones Newswires’ Rewrite Desk. Lauren heads the team of reporters that quickly turn around press releases into stories for Newswires and WSJ.com. The desk provides the valuable service of delivering the first word on the day’s most important news stories. The move is a return for Lauren, who was a member of the Rewrite Desk during 2008 and 2009. More recently, Lauren ran the Hot Stocks desk, where she led a team of reporters monitoring the day’s biggest stock movers.
Lauren is a Dow Jones veteran of seven years. She started her career at the company by writing for Corporate Filings Alert in Washington. Lauren later worked on Newswires’ spot news desk.
Lauren, originally from Kingwood, Texas, graduated from the University of Missouri with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in journalism.
