Dawn Wotapka, who has covered real estate for Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal, left the news organization earlier this week.
Wotapka is also a board member of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, but is not running for re-election later this month.
“As far as journalism jobs go, how do you top The Wall Street Journal?” said Wotapka in an email to Talking Biz News. “It has been a blast, but I’ve decided to take a break from deadlines and figure out my next step. I’ll let you where I end up.”
Wotapka had been with Dow Jones for nearly seven years, covering home builders, apartment owners, student housing operators and other real-estate players. Before that, she worked for the Long Island Business News.
She also spent four-plus years as a reporter for The (Raleigh) News & Observer, and interned on the business news desks of the Los Angeles Times and Dallas Morning News.
Wotapka is a graduate of New York University and N.C. State University.

It's understood that the company is constantly offering buyouts to employees with a certain number of years under their belts. Is this how a fiscally healthy news organization acts? The question is one worth asking....
