Reporter Greene leaving WSJ

Kelly Greene, who has covered retirement for The Wall Street Journal since 2000, is leaving the business newspaper at the end of the week.

In a post on her Facebook page, Greene wrote:

Today marks the start of my last week at The Wall Street Journal, and 20-odd years as a newspaper reporter. From flying a biplane across N.C.’s foothills to reporting from a midtown Manhattan blood drive on Sept. 11, 2001, and interviewing amazing older Americans from all walks of life, it’s been quite a ride. Thank you for reading, and BUYING, newspapers. Without them, our country could lose its heart and soul.

Greene previously worked for the Triad Business Journal, Charlotte Business Journal and Atlanta Business Chronicle. She was also Atlanta bureau chief of American Banker.

Greene has been at The Journal since November 1996 and is the co-author of “The Wall Street Journal Complete Retirement Guidebook.”

Greene is a Wake Forest graduate. She declined to say what she was doing post-Journal on her Facebook page and in an email to Talking Biz News.
