WSJ hires financial enforcement correspondent from Reuters

Reuters correspondent Aruna Viswanatha has been hired as a financial enforcement correspondent with The Wall Street Journal.

Karey Van Hall, interim Washington bureau chief for Reuters, wrote in an email to the staff:

It has been a joy to work with Aruna for the past three-and-a-half years. She has been a dynamo on the beat, consistently producing scoops on billion-dollar-plus settlements with global banks, and finding inventive ways to tell the justice story. We’ll miss her greatly, and wish her the best of luck!
Lindsay Dunsmuir will be taking on the Justice Department beat as a temporary assignment, working closely with Julia Edwards and others to cover the agency’s activities.

Before Reuters, Viswanatha worked as a reporter for HT Mint, American Lawyer and Main Justice. She has degrees from Rutgers University and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism
