WSJ names new British transportation reporter

Wall Street Journal news editor Matthew Curtin sent out the following staff announcement on Wednesday:

We are pleased to announce that Marietta Cauchi is taking on the U.K. transport and aero-defense beat, covering U.K. blue chip stocks like BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, and British Airways parent International Consolidated Airlines Group. Marietta will also keep close tabs on Ryanair and Ireland’s transport sector.

Marietta’s long list of scoops as she extracted news about deals and media-shy deal-makers in the U.K. private-equity sector for the past 10 years stands her in good stead for the new job which will involve working closely with her colleagues across Europe following the auto, airline, defense and capital goods sectors. A lawyer by training, Marietta joined Dow Jones in 2001 from law firm Finers Stephen Innocent.

Please join us in welcoming and congratulating Marietta in her new role.
