WSJ hires Frosch as Denver-based reporter

Miguel Bustillo, the U.S. Southwest editor at The Wall Street Journal, sent out the following staff hire announcement on Wednesday:

We’re excited to announce that Dan Frosch has joined us this week as our new Denver-based U.S. News reporter.

Dan comes to the Journal from the New York Times, where he reported on a breadth of stories, from the 2012 shooting rampage at a Colorado cinema to the struggles of migrant sheepherders, from the paper’s Rocky Mountain Bureau since 2007.

He previously worked last decade for the Santa Fe Reporter, where he won an investigative reporting award from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies for a series on corruption in New Mexico, and for the rap magazine The Source, where he profiled Snoop Dog and Cypress Hill, and wrote about the lives of young Bloods gang members in Los Angeles, as west coast editor.

He’s not actually a DJ, but admits to having been in a forgettable rap group in the late 1990s at his alma mater, Wisconsin’s Beloit College, a musical pastime he has mercifully left behind. He’s originally from New York City, but now resides in Denver, from where he will cover New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming for us.

Please join me in welcoming Dan to the Journal.
