Kirsten Danis, the Northeast editor of The Wall Street Journal, sent out the following announcement last week:
We are very pleased to announce a new hire in US News.
Award-winning investigative reporter Scott Calvert joined us this week as the mid-Atlantic regional reporter, a new position covering Maryland, Delaware and eastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia. He will be based in Baltimore as part of the Northeast U.S. team.
Scott comes to the Journal from the Baltimore Sun. He covered the Iraq invasion in 2003 while embedded with the 101st Airborne and spent three years in South Africa as the paper’s last foreign correspondent. More recently, he led investigations that found widespread problems with property tax breaks and speed camera tickets in Baltimore. Before joining the Sun, he worked for the St. Petersburg Times and Concord (N.H.) Monitor. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, he lives in Baltimore with his wife Tricia and their young daughter.
And since everyone asks: He claims no relation to George Calvert, First Lord Baltimore.
Please join me in welcoming Scott to The Wall Street Journal.
