WSJ hires Rabouin for YouTube channel

Dion Rabouin

Wall Street Journal financial editor Charles Forelle sent out the following on Friday:

We are thrilled to welcome Dion Rabouin to The Wall Street Journal.

Dion will be the inaugural host of our soon-to-launch WSJ YouTube markets video channel, and he will write widely on markets and finance for our readers.

Dion was most recently markets editor at Axios, where he wrote Axios’s daily morning markets newsletter and was a correspondent for Axios on HBO interviewing CEOs and policymakers. Before that, he did video reporting for Yahoo Finance and was a markets reporter for Reuters. He’s worked across the U.S.–literally: L.A., Atlanta, Denver, NYC–and in central and south America.

Check out Dion’s writing and interviewing (and tweeting). You’ll find gems about NFTs, PPP, the dollar and China, SPACs and stock-borrow fees, and the time he met DMX. During the pandemic, he wrote forcefully about Fed policy and the splintering labor market and the racial wealth gap.

Dion is from Denver, and when we’re all back together he’ll be working out of the New York office. Please give him a warm welcome to the Journal.
