Shira Ovide, who has been covering the media industry for Dow Jones Newswires, will now cover newspapers for The Wall Street Journal, according to an internal memo.
“Shira has been the Newswires’ media reporter for 20 months. During that time, she has focused on the industry’s transition away from traditional outlets and into a new digital universe; detailed an increasingly challenged and consolidating newspaper industry; and broken news on the leveraged buyout of Clear Channel, a deal she’s covered for 18 of her 20 months here. We are grateful for those efforts. We, of course, will miss Shira’s dedication, as well as her readiness to tackle whatever was assigned to her. We wish her all the best in her new role.”
Ovide has been with Dow Jones since August 2006. She is a graduate of Haverford College and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.
