Wall Street Journal Washington bureau chief Gerald Seib sent out the following staff announcement on Friday:
I’m delighted to let you all know that Deborah Solomon has returned to her rightful home at The Wall Street Journal. Deb, as you all know, was a top-notch Journal reporter here and in New York before she departed for Bloomberg View. We’re all thrilled that we’ve succeeded in luring her back into the fold.
Deb began her second life at the Journal this week, and will oversee the financial regulatory group. She’ll take on a player-coach role in which she also will look for opportunities to write some of her own pieces in this important area. Her background covering financial and regulatory issues in Washington, as well as her recent editing experience, make her the ideal person to lead our coverage in this important area.
I know you’ll all join me in welcoming Deb back home.
