Andrew Tangel of the Los Angeles Times has been hired to be the new transportation reporter at The Wall Street Journal, reports Joe Pompeo of Capital New York.
Pompeo writes, “The Wall Street Journal has found a replacement for Ted Mann, the breakout transportation reporter who made a name for himself with recent coverage that drove the Chris Christie Bridgegate Scandal.
“As Daily Intel reported earlier this month, Mann is leaving the paper’s Greater New York section to cover GE, Honeywell, and United Technologies. Capital has learned that his successor on the transportation beat will be Andrew Tangel, who is currently a New York-based national business correspondent and Wall Street reporter for The Los Angeles Times.
“Tangel was in transit (fittingly) when we reached him via email and did not immediately have a comment. But a source with knowledge of the move said Mann’s official last day covering transportation is March 3 and that Tangel is expected to start sometime in the coming weeks.
“Greater New York has one other slot it’s looking to fill: An education reporter to replace Lisa Fleisher, who’s headed to London to cover tech for The Journal‘s new WSJD vertical.”
