Shelby Webb has been named the renewable energy reporter on the Houston Chronicle business news desk.
Webb will start her new beat in May. She has been covering suburban education for the paper.
“I can’t wait to learn more and see how the transition to renewable energy will reshape Houston and the country as a whole,” she wrote on Twitter.
Webb previously worked as an education reporter with the Sarasota Herald-Tribune in Florida from 2013 to 2016 and attended the University of Florida.
Webb was part of the Chronicle team that was a 2017 Pulitzer Prize finalist for Breaking News Reporting for covering Hurricane Harvey and its immediate aftermath.
