Two WSJ reporters — Gee and Fuhrmans — get new beats

Two Wall Street Journal reporters have new beats this week.

Kelsey Gee, who had been covering food, agriculture and the ag markets in the Chicago bureau, is now covering entry-level work and how workers learn to do their jobs.

An Illinois native, Gee holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Chicago in political theory. Gee has been at The Journal since 2012.

Vanessa Fuhrmans is now covering corporate management and executive leadership issues.

Fuhrmans had been on The Journal’s World desk, where for the last several years she edited breaking international stories and enterprise. Previously, Fuhrmans has worked as a correspondent in Berlin covering corporate Germany and has covered health economics and insurers for the Journal’s health bureau.

Fuhrmans has been a staff reporter for The Journal since 1999. She previously worked at Bloomberg News and is a University of Kansas graduate.
